Cashman recorded 12 total tackles (nine solo), including one tackle for loss, and defended one pass in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Seahawks. Cashman tallied his fourth game with double-digit stops in Sunday's narrow win, leading the Vikings' defense in total tackles. The 28-year-old linebacker has impressed in his first season with the Vikings, recording 93 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and defending eight passes through 12 appearances. Expect Cashman to continue starting alongside Kamu Grugier-Hill as part of Minnesota's top inside linebacker duo in the Week 17 matchup against the Packers.
Cashman (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Cashman was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury, but his full practice Thursday indicates that he should be good to go against Atlanta on Sunday. Over his last four games, Cashman has logged 26 tackles (16 solo), including 2.0 sacks.
Cashman (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Cashman appears to have sustained a knee injury in Sunday's win over the Cardinals, despite playing 100 percent of the Vikings' defensive snaps and recording 10 total tackles. The sixth-year pro's practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can play through the issue in Week 14, when the Falcons travel to Minnesota.
Cashman recorded four tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 23-13 win over the Titans. The inside linebacker also played on all 55 defensive snaps. Cashman now has 49 tackles (25 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and five pass breakups in seven games this season.
Cashman recorded five total tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks and an additional tackle for loss, in Sunday's 12-7 win over the Jaguars. Cashman tied three other Vikings as the team's leading tackler in Sunday's win, and he also brought down Mac Jones in the second quarter for his second sack of the season. The Minnesota product has now tallied 45 total tackles and five passes defended through six appearances this season. He's expected to remain one of Minnesota's top tacklers as the Vikings travel to Tennessee in Week 12.
Cashman (toe) is active for Sunday's game at Jacksonville, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Cashman has been sidelined for the Vikings' last three games after he suffered a toe turf injury in Week 5 against the Jets. He could be eased into action given his layoff, especially with Ivan Pace (knee) also active.
Cashman (toe) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. It appears Cashman is trending toward suiting up Sunday, as the Minnesota product upgraded from limited practice Thursday to a full go Friday. However, if Cashman is sidelined for the fourth consecutive game in Week 10, expect Kamu Grugier-Hill to serve as one of the Vikings' top inside linebackers.
Cashman (toe) was a limited practice participant Wednesday. Cashman has been sidelined for the Vikings' last three games after suffering a toe turf injury in Week 5 against the Jets. His ability to practice Wednesday is a step in the right direction, and if he can practice over the next two days, he'll have a shot at playing against the Jaguars on Sunday.
Cashman (toe) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Colts. Head coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters Friday that Cashman was close to returning for the Vikings' Week 9 matchup, and the team is hoping that he can play in Week 10's game against the Jaguars, per Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Expect Kamu Grugier-Hill to continue seeing increased snaps with the Vikings' first-team defense while Cashman remains sidelined Sunday.
