Vikings' Ivan Pace: Returns to role on defense
Pace started at middle linebacker in a three-linebacker formation and had four total tackles and a QB hit in Thursday's loss at the Chargers.
Pace didn't play a snap on defense the prior week as he was limited to special teams with the return of Blake Cashman from injury. However, Pace returned to play on 17 of the defense's 72 snaps, including the opening formation. It looks he's still behind Cashman and Eric Wilson for playing time at linebacker but will still be used in certain formations.

Vikings' Ivan Pace: Benched in loss
Pace was benched in Sunday's loss to the Eagles in favor of Eric Wilson with Blake Cashman returning from injured reserve, the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Pace didn't play a snap on defense but logged 23 snaps on special teams. He had 10 missed tackles in the five previous game, according to Pro Football Focus, which could have been a factor. He could get back into the mix at some point if there's an injury or the Vikings use three-linebacker formations.

Vikings' Ivan Pace: Logs 72 tackles across 11 contests
Pace finished the 2024 season with 72 tackles (36 solo), including 3.0 sacks, one pass breakup, including one interception, and one fumble recovery across 11 regular-season contests.
Pace missed Weeks 3 and 4 with an ankle injury and was sidelined again from Weeks 13 through 16 with a hamstring issue that landed Pace on injured reserve for four games. He played 79 percent of the defensive snaps in the wild-card playoff loss to the Rams and should be viewed as the favorite to start alongside Blake Cashman at linebacker in 2025 for Minnesota. Pace has one year remaining on his current contract.

Vikings' Ivan Pace: Activated off IR on Saturday
The Vikings activated Pace (hamstring) off injured reserve Saturday, and he does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Packers.
Pace spent the past four weeks on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury he suffered against the Bears in Week 12. He was designated to return from injured reserve Tuesday, and he has subsequently been activated off IR after logging full practices all week. In the eight games prior to his injury, Pace registered 59 tackles (31 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and one fumble recovery.

Vikings' Ivan Pace: Iffy to come off IR for Week 17
Pace (hamstring), who is still on IR, is questionable to suit up against the Packers on Sunday.
Pace was designated to return from injured reserve Tuesday and was deemed a full participant in practice throughout the week. However, it's not certain that he'll be active for Sunday's big matchup against Green Bay, and Minnesota would need to activate hm from IR by 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday for that to be a possibility. Pace had started in all nine of the games in which he played prior to getting hurt Week 12 versus Chicago.

Vikings' Ivan Pace: Logs full practice Thursday
Pace (hamstring) practiced in full Thursday.
Pace was designated to return from IR on Tuesday and was estimated as a full participant Wednesday. He then practiced in full Thursday, making a return to action Sunday versus Green Bay a legitimate possibility. Prior to getting hurt Week 12 versus Chicago, Pace had tallied 59 tackles, including 3.0 sacks, along with a fumble he returned for a touchdown over nine contests.

Vikings' Ivan Pace: Estimated as full participant
Pace (hamstring) was listed as a full practice participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report.
Pace has missed the Vikings' last four games while on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury he suffered against Chicago in Week 12. He was designated to return from IR on Tuesday, and while Wednesday's session was a walkthrough rather than a practice, Pace's full participation indicates that he is progressing well through his recovery. If he's able to fully participate in practice over the next two days, Pace could be activated off IR ahead of Sunday's NFC North clash against the Packers.
