Pace (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pace opened the Vikings' week of practice with a DNP but practiced in full Friday, suggesting he's moving in the right direction ahead of Sunday's contest. If the Cincinnati product can't play through his knee issue in Week 10, Brian Asamoah will likely see increased work with Minnesota's first-team defense.

Pace (knee) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's injury report.
EDGE Analysis
Pace finished this past Sunday's win over the Colts with six tackles (three solo), but it appears he may have picked up a knee injury in the process. He'll have two more chances to practice this week ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Across six regular-season games, Pace has logged 50 tackles (28 solo), including 2.0 sacks.

Pace recorded six tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Sunday's 23-17 win against the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Despite only playing 26 defensive snaps in Week 5, Pace picked up a sack and tied for the team lead in tackles in London. He will probably see a bit more playing time after the Vikings' bye in Week 6, when he's further removed from the ankle injury that's limited him early in the year.

Pace (ankle) practiced in full Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Pace was limited in Wednesday's practice due and has missed back-to-back games due to an ankle injury, but it appears he's now returned to full health. The inside linebacker racked up 15 tackles (10 solo) throughout Minnesota's first two games of the season, so his return will be a notable boost for the starting defense during Sunday's game against the Jets.

Pace (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Pace has missed the last two games due to an ankle injury, but head coach Kevin O'Connell expressed optimism Monday that the inside linebacker would be back for Week 5 against the Jets, per Alec Lewis of The Athletic. Pace tallied 15 tackles (10 solo) across the first two games of the regular season.

Head coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters Monday that the Vikings hope to have Pace (ankle) back for Week 5, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Connell added that Pace was close to suiting up for the Vikings' Week 4 win over the Packers. The Cincinnati product's practice participation during the week will provide a better indication of his possible availability in Week 5. If he's still not past his ankle injury by the time of Sunday's contest, expect Brian Asamoah to play alongside Blake Cashman in Minnesota's inside linebacker corps.
