Vikings' Blake Cashman: Racks up 11 stops in loss
Cashman registered 11 tackles (six solo) in Thursday's Week 8 loss to the Chargers.
Cashman was Minnesota's leading tackler in a game dominated by Los Angeles. The 11 stops marked a season high for the veteran linebacker, who missed four weeks earlier in the campaign due to a hamstring injury. Cashman has logged 100 percent of the Vikings' defensive snaps both weeks since his return from IR.

Vikings' Blake Cashman: Four tackles in return
Cashman compiled four total tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 28-22 loss to Philadelphia.
Cashman made his return to action after missing the last four games while on injured reserve with a hamstring injury. The linebacker was able to finish tied for fourth on the team in takedowns in the defeat, and he's now registered seven total tackles (four solo) over two games this year.

Vikings' Blake Cashman: Cleared to return Week 7
Cashman (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Cashman was activated off injured reserve Saturday, and the 2019 fifth-rounder has been cleared to return from a four-game absence due to a hamstring injury he sustained against the Bears in Week 1. Cashman should slide back into his starting role at inside linebacker alongside Ivan Pace, which would revert Eric Wilson to a rotational role.

Vikings' Blake Cashman: Activated from IR
The Vikings activated Cashman (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday, but he's still questionable for Sunday's contest against the Eagles.
Cashman has been out of action since suffering a hamstring injury during the Vikings' Week 1 win over the Bears. He was a full participant in practice all week, and his return to the active roster gives him a chance to play Week 7. Cashman's presence would mean less snaps at inside linebacker for Eric Wilson, who has started in each of the Vikings' last four games and logged 30 tackles (15 solo) and two forced fumbles over that span.

Vikings' Blake Cashman: Chance to play vs. Philadelphia
Cashman (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Cashman was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, and the 2019 fifth-rounder was a full participant in practice all week. He would have to be reinstated from IR in order to be cleared to play in Sunday's home clash. Cashman is in the final stages of his recovery from a hamstring injury that he picked up in Week 1 against the Bears.

Vikings' Blake Cashman: Able to practice in full
Cashman (hamstring) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.
Cashman is still officially on Minnesota's injured reserve list, but his status Wednesday suggests he may have an opportunity to return to the field in Week 7. Until he's officially activated though, Ivan Pace figures to continue to get first-team reps at linebacker next to veteran Eric Wilson.

Vikings' Blake Cashman: Practice window opens
The Vikings designated Cashman (hamstring) from return from the injured reserve Monday.
The veteran linebacker has missed Minnesota's last four games after being placed on IR following Week 1 due to a hamstring injury. After a Week 6 bye, Cashman is ready to practice again, and the Vikings will now have 21 days to evaluate him before he'll need to be added back to the 53-man roster or remain on IR for the rest of the season. Once Cashman returns to full health, he's expected to slot back into a starting role at linebacker.

Vikings' Blake Cashman: Out until at least Week 7
Cashman (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.
Cashman sustained a hamstring injury in Minnesota's Week 1 win over Chicago. The earliest he can return from IR would be Week 7 against the Eagles, following Minnesota's Week 6 bye. Eric Wilson is expected to start in Cashman's absence. Cashman missed at least three games due to injuries in five of his previous six NFL seasons and will do so again in 2025.

Vikings' Blake Cashman: Slated to miss time with injury
Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Wednesday that Cashman (hamstring) is expected to miss time.
Cashman exited early from Monday's season-opening win over Chicago and subsequently underwent an MRI on his hamstring. Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reported that there was an initial expectation that Cashman would miss "several" weeks, and that still seems to be on the table given O'Connell's comments Wednesday. Eric Wilson steeped up with five tackles following Cashman's departure Monday and figures to take on a starting role during the latter's absence.

Vikings' Blake Cashman: Slated for MRI
Cashman will get an MRI on his hamstring, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Cashman was hurt in the third period of Monday's win over Chicago while attempting to chase down Bears QB Caleb Williams. The news that Cashman will undergo an MRI suggests that he could be dealing with an injury that's more than minor, though he probably won't receive a diagnosis until the results of the test come in. If Cashman were to miss time, Eric Wilson would likely step into a starting role.

Vikings' Blake Cashman: Done for night
Cashman (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday night's contest against the Bears, Lindsey Young of the Vikings' official site reports.
Cashman pulled up lame after trying to chase down Caleb Williams after the quarterback had escaped the pocket in the third quarter. It is now understood that the linebacker suffered a hamstring injury, and his status at practice this week will be worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Falcons in Week 2.
