Undrafted rookie linebacker Ivan Pace Jr. played 46 snaps in the Vikings' 20-17 loss to the Buccaneers, compared to only two snaps for second-year linebacker Brian Asamoah II.
That wasn't according to plan, defensive coordinator Brian Flores said Tuesday. Flores added Asamoah will play more Thursday night against the Eagles in what they intend to be more of a rotation next to starting linebacker Jordan Hicks.
Flores said Pace was playing well, "so we wanted to keep him in there. But we're going to get [Asamoah] in there a little bit more this week.
