Vikings Open 21-Day Return Window for Linebacker Blake Cashman

Minnesota plans to assess his readiness this week for a potential return against Philadelphia.

Overview

  • The team designated Cashman for return from injured reserve on Monday, starting his 21-day practice window and making him eligible for activation.
  • Head coach Kevin O'Connell said Cashman has prepared well and will get a week of practice before the staff reassesses his status late in the week.
  • Cashman has been sidelined since a Week 1 hamstring injury against Chicago and returned to the practice field for the first time Monday.
  • If he responds well, he could be available as soon as Sunday versus the Eagles, with a determination expected closer to the end of the week.
  • Andrew Van Ginkel continues side-field work for a neck issue with no timetable, and J.J. McCarthy, Donovan Jackson, Michael Jurgens and Brian O'Neill are expected to practice as Minnesota manages limited IR-return slots after moves for C.J. Ham and Tyler Batty.
