  • Vikings' Blake Cashman: Career year in 2024 with Minnesota

    Cashman finished the 2024 season with 112 tackles (68 solo), including 4.5 sacks, eight pass breakups and one fumble recovery across 14 regular-season contests.

    After starting just eight games from 2019-22 with the Jets and Texans, Cashman started 13 games for the 2023 Texans and set a career high with 106 tackles. He then landed a three-year, $22.5 million deal in free agency from Minnesota and went on to set new career bests across the board, making 14 starts, despite missing three games with a toe injury. Cashman recorded double-digit tackles six times, including in the wild-card playoff loss to the Rams. Cashman should again be an every-down linebacker and tackles machine in 2025 under ultra-aggressive defensive coordinator Brian Flores.

  • Vikings' Blake Cashman: Picks up knee injury

    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.

  • Vikings' Blake Cashman: Active against Jacksonville

    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.

  • Vikings' Blake Cashman: Could return Sunday

    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 a 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.
