Blake Cashman Injury News & Updates
Nov 17, 2025
Notches 15 stops in Week 11
Cashman recorded 15 total tackles (six solo) in Sundays 19-17 loss to the Bears.
ANALYSIS
The Minnesota product has now led the Vikings' defense in total tackles for four consecutive games, recording 51 stops during that span. Since returning from injury in the Week 7 loss to the Eagles, Cashman has played 100 percent of Minnesota's defensive snaps. He's expected to remain the team's top inside linebacker and a valuable IDP option in the Week 12 matchup against the Packers.
Nov 10, 2025
Game-high 11 stops Week 10
Cashman registered 11 tackles (four solo) during the Vikings' 27-19 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Cashman led the Vikings in tackles for a third consecutive game while playing every single defensive snap. He has accumulated 40 tackles (18 solo) and one forced fumble in his four games since returning from a hamstring injury.
Nov 4, 2025
Leading tackler at Detroit
Cashman recorded 14 tackles (six solo) and a forced fumble during Sunday's 27-24 win against the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Cashman put up a double-digit tackle total for his second straight game in Week 9, and he made a highlight-reel play in the third quarter when he chased down running back David Montgomery and knocked the ball loose to set up a Vikings touchdown. He is set up to see plenty more work against the run with the Ravens coming to Minnesota in Week 10.
Oct 24, 2025
Racks up 11 stops in loss
Cashman registered 11 tackles (six solo) in Thursday's Week 8 loss to the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 20, 2025
Four tackles in return
Cashman compiled four total tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 28-22 loss to Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 19, 2025
Cleared to return Week 7
Cashman (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 18, 2025
Activated from injured reserve
The Vikings reinstated Cashman (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
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 reinstatement from IR indicates that he is on track to return Sunday against the Eagles. Cashman's presence will 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.
Oct 17, 2025
Chance to play vs. Philadelphia
Cashman (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 15, 2025
Able to practice in full
Cashman (hamstring) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 13, 2025
Practice window opens
Cashman (hamstring) was designated to return from the injured reserve list Monday.
ANALYSIS
The veteran linebacker has missed Minnesota's last four games after being placed on IR in early September with a hamstring injury. He now has 21 days to be added to the Vikings' active roster before reverting to IR. Once Cashman returns to full health, he's expected to start alongside Ivan Pace in Minnesota's inside-linebacker corps.
Sep 11, 2025
Out until at least Week 7
Cashman (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.
ANALYSIS
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.
Sep 10, 2025
Slated to miss time with injury
Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Wednesday that Cashman (hamstring) is expected to miss time.
ANALYSIS
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.
Sep 9, 2025
Slated for MRI
Cashman will get an MRI on his hamstring, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Sep 8, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 20, 2025
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 recovering across 14 regular-season contests.
ANALYSIS
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 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.
Dec 30, 2024
Team-high 11 tackles vs. Green Bay
Cashman tallied 11 tackles (six solo), including 1.5 sacks, during the Vikings' 27-25 win over the Packers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Cashman led the Vikings in tackling Sunday for a second straight game. He combined with Andrew Van Ginkel to sack Jordan Love for a 10-yard sack early in the fourth quarter, and Cashman followed that up with a solo sack on Love during the Packers' next offensive drive. Cashman has logged at least seven combined tackles in each of his last five games, and over that span he has accumulated 49 tackles (36 tackles), including 1.5 sacks, and one fumble recovery.
Dec 23, 2024
Paces Minnesota in tackles
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Dec 5, 2024
Logs full practice Thursday
Cashman (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
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.
Dec 4, 2024
Picks up knee injury
Cashman (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 18, 2024
Gets to quarterback in win
Cashman recorded four tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 23-13 win over the Titans.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 11, 2024
Fills stat sheet vs. Jags
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 10, 2024
Active against Jacksonville
Cashman (toe) is active for Sunday's game at Jacksonville, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Cashman has been sidelined for the Vikings' last three games after suffering 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.
Nov 8, 2024
Could return Sunday
Cashman (toe) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 6, 2024
Opens week as limited participant
Cashman (toe) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 1, 2024
Missing another week
Cashman (toe) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Colts.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 30, 2024
Logs DNP on Wednesday
Cashman (toe) didn't practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Cashman didn't play in the Vikings' last two games due to a toe injury, and Wednesday's DNP suggests he's in jeopardy of missing even more time. The Minnesota product likely needs to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to suit up for the Vikings' Week 9 matchup against the Colts.
Oct 23, 2024
Out for Week 8
Cashman (toe) has been ruled out for Thursday against the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Cashman already missed the Vikings' Week 7 loss to the Lions and will now miss a second-straight contest due to turf toe. With 10 days until their next game after Thursday, the 28-year-old will have extra time to recover and potentially return in Week 9 against the Colts.
Oct 21, 2024
Getting close to return
Head coach Kevin O'Connell stated Monday that he isn't sure if Cashman (toe) will be available Sunday against the Rams, but he is positive he should return no later than Week 9, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Cashman hasn't played since Week 5 due to turf toe, but he is making good progress, according to O'Connell. With the Vikings on a short week and playing the Rams on Thursday, the 28-year-old won't have much extra time to recover and prepare before the team's next matchup. A firmer stance on his status for the matchup may not come until Minnesota releases its inactive list 90 minutes before kickoff Thursday.
Oct 18, 2024
Officially out in Week 7
Cashman (toe) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Cashman was expected to miss Sunday's divisional matchup due to turf toe, but Friday's injury report made it official. Expect Kamu Grugier-Hill and Brian Asamoah to see additional work with Minnesota's first-team defense while Cashman is sidelined in Week 7.
Oct 16, 2024
Dealing with turf toe
Cashman is dealing with turf toe and is not expected to play in Sunday's matchup against the Lions, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Krammer also reported that the first-year Viking will likely be sidelined for Minnesota's Week 8 matchup against the Rams as well. Cashman has impressed through five games, recording 40 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and five passes defended. Expect either Brian Asamoah or Kamu Grugier-Hill to start alongside Ivan Pace in the Vikings' inside linebacker corps Sunday in Cashman's stead.
Sep 30, 2024
Leading tackler in win
Cashman racked up 11 tackles (six solo) in Minnesota's 31-29 win over the Packers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Cashman had another productive outing for the Vikings and has now compiled double-digit tackles in two of his four appearances this season. The 28-year-old will look to build off this performance next week versus the Jets.
Sep 16, 2024
Leading tackler versus 49ers
Cashman recorded 13 tackles (five solo), with 1.0 sack, during Minnesota's 23-17 win over the 49ers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Cashman was dominant for the Vikings as he led the team in tackles in addition to logging his first sack of the season. The 28-year-old has now amassed 19 tackles (nine solo) across the first two games of the 2024 campaign.
Sep 4, 2024
Left off injury report
Cashman (finger) was absent from the Vikings' injury report Wednesday ahead of Sunday's Week 1 matchup with the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Cashman sustained a finger injury that required surgery in mid-August, but it appears he's already moved past the issue and will be ready for Minnesota's regular-season opener Sunday. Expect the first-year Viking to serve as one of the team's top inside linebackers after recording 106 total tackles across 14 regular-season games with the Texans in 2023.
Aug 15, 2024
Underwent finger surgery
Cashman suffered a finger injury that required surgery Wednesday, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Kevin O'Connell said Cashman will return once his stitches heal. It's not a long-term issue, and Cashman should be fine for Week 1. Signed to a three-year deal back in March, Cashman is coming off a career year last season in Houston, finishing with 106 tackles (56 solo), two sacks, one interception and one fumble recovery. He should be a tackling machine for Minnesota.
Mar 13, 2024
Signs three-year deal with Vikings
Cashman signed a three-year contract with the Vikings on Wednesday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Cashman can make up to $22.5 million over the course of the contract. The oft-injured linebacker put together a healthy and productive 2023 season in Houston, posting 106 tackles (56 solo) in 14 appearances. Cashman's expected to fill a starting role for the Vikings, and this will be a homecoming for the Minnesota native.
Jan 25, 2024
Makes good for Houston
Cashman recorded 106 tackles, nine for a loss, two sacks and one interception over 14 games in 2023.
ANALYSIS
Cashman was Houston's most consistent linebacker and led the team in tackles. The outside linebacker also moved to the middle when injuries and suspensions hit the defense. He enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, and it makes sense for the Texans to bring him back, but Cashman gained leverage by posting a career-best season.
Jan 2, 2024
Records six stops in return
Cashman posted six tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 26-3 Week 17 win over Tennessee.
ANALYSIS
Cashman had missed Houston's previous two games with a hamstring injury, and he appeared to be on a snap count Sunday, logging just 49 percent of the team's defensive snaps after playing nearly every defensive snap over the three weeks prior to getting hurt. The fifth-year linebacker still managed to tie for third on the Texans with six stops. That's a mark Cashman has reached in six of his past seven contests, and he's up to a career-best 93 tackles (52 solo) on the campaign.
Dec 29, 2023
Good to go for Sunday
Cashman (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Tennessee.
ANALYSIS
The linebacker is set to return to the lineup after missing the previous two games. Cashman still leads the Texans with 87 tackles (51 solo), adding nine TFLs, one fumble recovery and two sacks. He should be busy with Derrick Henry in this AFC South clash.
Dec 27, 2023
Still not ready to practice
Cashman (hamstring) remained sidelined at practice Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Cashman hasn't practiced or played since hurting his hamstring Week 14 against the Jets. The oft-injured linebacker will likely need to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have a chance at making his return Sunday against the Titans.
Dec 22, 2023
Won't play versus Cleveland
Cashman (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Cashman will miss his second straight game after sustaining a hamstring injury in Week 14 against the Jets. Jake Hansen and Henry To'oTo'o are candidates to start at outside linebacker alongside Christian Harris for Sunday's contest.
Dec 15, 2023
Won't play at Tennessee
Cashman (hamstring) is listed as out for Sunday's game at Tennessee.
ANALYSIS
Cashman will sit out for his first game since Week 1 on Sunday as he deals with a hamstring injury. Jake Hansen projects as the primary beneficiary of Cashman's absence in terms of playing time.
Dec 12, 2023
Multi-week absence possible
Cashman is expected to miss at least one week after suffering a hamstring injury in Sunday's loss to the Jets, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Cashman's likely absence against the Titans on Sunday will be a blow to Houston's defense. The 27-year-old is the team's current leader with 87 total tackles and has been one of the team's starters at outside linebacker for the majority of the season. While he is out of action, Jake Hansen is expected to step into a starting role.
Dec 10, 2023
Downgraded to out
Cashman (hamstring) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Jets.
ANALYSIS
The starting outside linebacker made three solo tackles before leaving the game in the first half. Cashman has 51 solo tackles in 2023. Jake Hansen is the next man up on the Texans' depth chart.
Dec 10, 2023
Exits with injury
Cashman has left Sunday's game against the Jets due to a hamstring injury.
ANALYSIS
Cashman had three solo tackles before exiting with the injury late in the second quarter. His absence will leave a void at linebacker for the Texans, which Jake Hansen will likely be asked to step into and fill while Cashman is out of action.
Nov 21, 2023
Big effort in win
Cashman recorded 19 tackles, one sack, two quarterback hits and one pass defensed in Week 11's 21-16 win over Arizona.
ANALYSIS
Cashman, who has served as the strongside linebacker for most of the season, was pressed into duty in the middle Sunday and responded with a new career high in tackles. Starting MIKE linebacker, Denzel Perryman, served the first of a two-game suspension, so expect Cashman back in the middle for Week 12 against the Jaguars. It should be noted that Cashman played all 61 snaps against the Cardinals after being hampered by a knee injury that limited him to 55 percent of the snaps Week 10.
Nov 18, 2023
Moving to middle linebacker
Cashman will start at middle linebacker Sunday against the Cardinals, Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Cashman is tapped to fill in for the suspended Denzel Perryman, who will also miss Week 12 against the Jaguars. Normally, Henry To'oTo'o would fill in for Perryman, but he's out while in concussion protocol. Cory Littleton will slide in at strongside linebacker, Cashman's normal spot, and Christian Harris will continue to start on the weak side. Cashman was impacted by a knee injury last week and played just 35 snaps (55 percent), but he's been a high-volume tackler when healthy and available for a full game. He averaged 9.8 tackles over the four games leading up to last week's win over the Bengals.
Nov 10, 2023
Suiting up at Cincinnati
Cashman (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game at the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
Cashman upgraded from limited participation at practice Thursday to full participation on Friday, putting himself on track to play in Week 10. He's on pace for his first 100-tackle season, making him a fine IDP play on Sunday.
Nov 8, 2023
Misses practice Wednesday
Cashman (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Despite not playing the first two games of the season, Cashman is second on the Texans with 47 tackles (27 solo) and has also recorded four pass breakups, one interception, one sack, and eight tackles for loss. Cashman has a couple more practice days ahead of Sunday's Week 10 date with the Bengals.
Nov 6, 2023
Sets career tackle mark
Cashman recorded 10 tackles (five solo) and two tackles for loss in Sunday's 39-37 win over Tampa Bay in Week 9.
ANALYSIS
Overcoming injuries to start the season, Cashman has compiled 39 tackles over the last four games. He's up to 47 for the season, second on the team, and broke his previous career high of 40 tackles.
Oct 31, 2023
Logs first sack of the year
Cashman recorded five tackles (four solo), with a sack, during Sunday's 15-13 loss to the Panthers.
ANALYSIS
Cashman managed to log his first sack of the season after logging three during the previous campaign. The 2019 fifth-round pick is now just three tackles shy of his career high (40) set back during his rookie year, and he should have an ample opportunity to surpass the mark this week versus the Buccaneers.
Oct 17, 2023
Piles up 15 tackles in win
Cashman recorded 15 tackles (nine solo), two tackles for loss and two pass breakups in Houston's Week 6 win over the Saints Sunday.
ANALYSIS
The veteran linebacker has started each of the last four games and has piled up 24 tackles over the last two weeks. He played 100 percent of the defensive snaps versus New Orleans. On the year, Cashman is second on the Texans in tackles (32), behind rookie LB Henry To'oTo'o.
Oct 17, 2023
Stands out in win
Cashman recorded 15 tackles, including two for a loss, one quarterback hit and two passes defensed in Sunday's 20-13 win over New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
Cashman, who dealt with a hamstring during the preseason and missed Week 1, has been Houston's best and most consistent linebacker since returning Week 2. The 27-year-old has 24 tackles the last two weeks. Houston's defense sacked David Carr twice in the win, but the unit's presence was felt mostly in pressures. The NFL's Next Gen stats credited Cashman and company with 26 pressures, tied for third most by any team this season, per Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. This bounce back came after the defense failed to record a sack in the previous week's loss to Atlanta.
Oct 10, 2023
Continues to be productive
Cashman recorded nine total tackles (five solo), two tackles for loss and one hit on the quarterback during the Texans' 21-19 loss to the Falcons this Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Cashman has made plays for Houston's defense since taking over the starting outside linebacker duties, as he's tallied 17 total tackles (nine solo), two tackles for loss, one interception and one fumble recovery in three games. The veteran led the Texans in tackles for loss and was third in total tackles this past Sunday, trailing only Jalen Pitre (11 tackles) and Henry To'oTo'o (12 tackles).
Sep 25, 2023
Makes big plays in first start
Cashman recorded five tackles, defensed two passes, recovered a fumble and had an interception in Sunday's 37-17 win over the Jaguars in Week 3.
ANALYSIS
Cashman, who missed Week 1 due to a hamstring and was limited to special teams only Week 2, made his first start and saw his first action on defense Sunday. The Texans' defense needed some plays, and the veteran responded with two turnovers that the offense turned into 10 points.
Sep 15, 2023
Good to go Sunday
Cashman (hamstring) was left off the Texans' injury report ahead of Sunday's game against Indianapolis.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old has had enough time to move past his hamstring injury, as he participated in full during Friday's practice. Cashman projects to play as a rotational outside linebacker for Houston's defense ahead of Sunday's contest.
Sep 8, 2023
Out Week 1 due to hamstring
Cashman (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's season opener against the Ravens, Jonathan Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Cashman being declared out isn't surprising considering he was unable to practice in any capacity during the week. Injuries have frequently set the 27-year-old linebacker back, as Cashman has been limited to 30 appearances over the previous four seasons.
Sep 4, 2023
Looking unlikely for Week 1
Cashman (hamstring) is not practicing Monday and is not expected to play Sunday at Baltimore, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Cashman has been dealing with a hamstring injury since mid-August, and it appears that he may miss Houston's regular-season opener as a result. The 2019 fifth-round pick could be in line for a starting role when healthy, but until then Cory Littleton will likely benefit from increased defensive snaps.
Aug 18, 2023
Dealing with hamstring
Cashman will not play Saturday against the Dolphins due to a hamstring injury, Coty M. Davis of Sports Illustrated reports.
ANALYSIS
Cashman missed the last two practices due to the injury, which a league source said is considered "relatively minor," Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 Houston reports.
Dec 1, 2022
Secures one-year extension
The Texans signed Cashman (knee) to a one-year contract extension Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Cashman will now be tied to Houston through the 2023 season after being traded to the team from the Jets this offseason. The 26-year-old linebacker has been a consistent contributor on special teams while playing a limited defensive role over 10 games this season, recording 13 tackles, one sack and one pass defended. Cashman popped up as a non-participant with a knee injury on Wednesday's injury report, so he could be in jeopardy of missing just his second game of the season Sunday versus the Browns.
Oct 19, 2022
Clear injury report Wednesday
Cashman (concussion) was not listed on the Texans' practice report Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Cashman was ruled out for Houston's win over Jacksonville on Oct. 9 after sustaining a concussion in the previous week's game. However, the outside linebacker appears to have cleared protocols following the team's Week 6 bye, which would make him available for Sunday against the Raiders. Cashman recorded six tackles and one pass defended while playing 37 of his 106 snaps on defense this season.
Oct 7, 2022
Won't play Sunday
Cashman (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
Cashman was diagnosed with a concussion during the team's Week 4 loss to the Chargers and didn't practice at all ahead of Week 5. The 2019 fifth-round pick had only played 37 defensive snaps over the past three weeks, so his absence shouldn't have a major impact on Houston's defense, though Garret Wallow may see a few extra snaps after playing a season-high 20 defensive plays against the Chargers.
Oct 5, 2022
Doesn't participate in walkthrough
Cashman (concussion) was listed as a non-participant during Wednesday's walkthrough, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Cashman was ruled out for the remainder of the team's Week 4 loss to the Chargers after suffering a concussion and remained sidelined for the team's first practice ahead of Week 5. If he's unable to clear concussion protocols before Sunday, Neville Hewitt would be a likely candidate to step into an expanded role against Jacksonville.
Oct 2, 2022
Stays out Sunday
Cashman (head) is downgraded to out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Cashman was pulled from Sunday's contest to be evaluated for a potential concussion, though it's unclear if he was officially diagnosed with one. With the fourth-year linebacker out, Neville Hewitt figures to see increased usage against the Chargers.
Oct 2, 2022
Being evaluated
Cashman has exited Sunday's game against the Chargers to be evaluated for a concussion.
ANALYSIS
Cashman is considered questionable to return. However, if he did suffer a concussion he'll certainly be out for the remainder of the game. He had recorded one tackle in Sunday's contest before suffering the injury.

Drawing praise at practice
Coach Lovie Smith said Wednesday that Cashman has "come from nowhere" during training camp.
ANALYSIS
Smith's comments suggest Cashman has put the groin injury that kept him out of the last 10 games of the 2021 season behind him. Despite having drafted Alabama's Christian Harris in the third round of this year's draft, the rebuilding Texans don't necessarily have an excess of talent at linebacker behind Christian Kirksey and Kamu Grugier-Hill, meaning Cashman has a legitimate shot to see a notable role in 2022.
Mar 17, 2022
Traded to Houston
The Texans acquired Cashman (groin) from the Jets on Wednesday in exchange for a late-round draft pick, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Cashman has played only 14 games across his first three seasons in the league, and he'll make his way to Houston for the final year of his rookie contract. He recorded 40 total tackles and a half-sack in seven games as a rookie in 2019 but has only nine tackles in the past two years while dealing with injuries. Cashman missed the final 10 games of the 2021 campaign due to a groin injury.
Jan 18, 2022
Finishes season on IR
Cashman (groin) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Dec. 24 and reverted to injured reserve, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Cashman spent just over two weeks on the list after testing positive for the virus Dec. 8. Since he had already suffered a season-ending groin injury in late October, his placement on the virus list didn't have an effect on his recovery timeline.
Dec 8, 2021
Tests positive for COVID-19
Cashman's (groin) placement on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday was a result of a positive test for the virus, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.
ANALYSIS
Before landing on the list, Cashman had been residing on injured reserve with the groin injury he sustained Week 7 in New England. Since the Jets had yet to designate the reserve linebacker for return from IR prior to him landing on the list, Cashman likely won't be cleared to resume practicing this week even if he's vaccinated and clears all COVID-19-related protocols in short order. With that in mind, Cashman is safe to rule out for Sunday's game against the Saints, though he could have a chance to return at some point during the final four contests of the Jets' season.
Dec 6, 2021
Placed on COVID-19 list
Cashman (undisclosed) was placed on the COVID-19/reserve list Monday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
The linebacker is now the third Jets player to currently wind up on the COVID-19 list. Cashman will also remain on New York's injured reserve as he continues to deal with a groin injury suffered in Week 7.
Oct 26, 2021
Placed on IR
Cashman (groin) was moved to injured reserve Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
The linebacker suffered the groin injury this weekend versus the Patriots and will miss at least three games before returning from the IR. Cashman has only appeared in three games this season due to a hamstring injury earlier in the year, collecting three tackles, all of which came in Week 7. Del'Shawn Phillips started at inside linebacker for C.J. Mosley (hamstring) Sunday, but may need to shift to outside linebacker for the time being.
Oct 25, 2021
Getting an MRI Monday
Cashman (groin) is undergoing an MRI on Monday, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Cashman injured his groin during the Jets' Week 7 loss to the Patriots, and depending on the MRI results, he may miss some time. The 25-year-old linebacker has only played in three games during the 2021 campaign, as he was placed on IR after suffering a hamstring injury during the season opener.
Oct 24, 2021
Suffers groin injury
Cashman (groin) is questionable to return Sunday against the Patriots, according to Brian Costello of the New York Post.
ANALYSIS
Cashman has been dealing with injuries all season long, and he is now suspected to have suffered a new ailment in what has been his third appearance of the campaign. He already spent time on the injured list due to a hamstring injury suffered in Week 1.
Oct 9, 2021
Activated from IR
Cashman was activated from injured reserve Saturday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The linebacker was designated to return from the IR Wednesday, allowing the team to activate him at any point within 21 days. Cashman last played Week 1 against the Panthers. He'll make his return to the field Week 5 versus the Falcons.
Oct 7, 2021
Nearing return from IR
Cashman (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Ethan Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Cashman picked up the hamstring injury during the season opener but has now been cleared to practice. The 25-year-old can now be activated at any point within the next 21 days.
Sep 14, 2021
Hits IR
Cashman (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Cashman will sit out at least three games, meaning Week 5 against the Falcons is his earliest return date. With Jamien Sherwood (ankle) also expected to miss two weeks, the Jets signed BJ Goodson to the active roster to add depth at linebacker. They also have Del'Shawn Phillips -- who posted 12 tackles in Week 1 -- on their practice squad.
Sep 13, 2021
Out at least two weeks
Cashman is expected to miss two weeks after injuring his hamstring during Sunday's preseason contest, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After a strong rookie campaign in 2019, Cashman's 2020 was plagued by hamstring issues. He landed on IR with a hamstring injury on two separate occasions last year, so his latest injury should be concerning. The Jets only healthy outside linebacker is Hamsah Nasirildeen, so they will likely have to make a move before Week 2.
Dec 3, 2020
Shifts to IR
The Jets placed Cashman (hamstring) on injured reserve Thursday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
This will be Cashman's second stint on IR this season with the hamstring issue, so his season will come to an end. The Minnesota product didn't produce as well as he'd hoped after a strong rookie campaign in 2019, as he supplied just six tackles (four solo) across four games this year. Cashman will now hit the recover trail where he'll look to solve his lingering hamstring issues for the 2021 campaign.
Nov 30, 2020
On track to miss time
Coach Adam Gase said Monday that Cashman (hamstring) could miss a couple weeks, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Cashman sat out the last three games with a hamstring injury but returned to the lineup Sunday against the Dolphins. He aggravated the injury, however, and he could miss more time as a result. Cashman only plays on special teams, where he has recorded a team-high six tackles, but his absence won't shake up the dynamic on defense.
Nov 29, 2020
Exits Sunday's contest
Cashman is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins due to a hamstring injury, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old was questionable for Sunday's contest with a hamstring issue, and he appears to have aggravated the injury. Cashman recorded one tackle before leaving the game.
Nov 29, 2020
Shakes off injury
Cashman (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game versus the Dolphins, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
ANALYSIS
Cashman is back in action for the first time since Week 7. He's played in only three games this year, recording three snaps on defense. However, he could have an increased role against the divisional opponent, as Patrick Onwuasor (hamstring) has been placed on IR. Still, Neville Hewitt and Harvey Langi are expected to start at inside linebacker.
Nov 22, 2020
Won't play Week 11
Cashman (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old was considered doubtful for Sunday's contest, so there was never much of a chance of him suiting up versus Los Angeles. Cashman hasn't seen the field since Week 7 and hasn't played a defensive snap since the season opener.
Nov 20, 2020
Cashman injured both hamstrings
Cashman (hamstring) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Cashman injured both hamstrings back in a Week 7 loss to the Bills, and he's still unable to practice. He's slated to miss a third straight game, and the second-year linebacker out of Minnesota will set his focus on returning next week against the Dolphins.
Nov 18, 2020
Can't practice Wednesday
Cashman (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Cashman's hamstring injury has caused him to miss back-to-back games, and despite now coming off a bye it looks like he could be forced to miss another contest. In that case, Harvey Langi would be in line to see an uptick in snaps during Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Nov 7, 2020
Out again Week 9
Cashman (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Patriots, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Cashman will be sidelined for the second straight contest due to the hamstring injury, but he'll have the bye in Week 10 to aid in his recovery before missing additional time. Harvey Langi should have an increased role Sunday, especially with starter Avery Williamson traded earlier in the week.
Oct 30, 2020
Won't play Sunday
Cashman (hamstring) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Connor Hughes of The Athletic Hughes reports.
ANALYSIS
Cashman's hamstring injury will also keep him from practicing Friday. In his stead, Harvey Langi stands to see increased rotational snaps behind starters Neville Hewitt and Avery Williamson.
Oct 17, 2020
Ready for Week 6
The Jets activated Cashman (groin) from injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Cashman logged just three defensive snaps before leaving the season opener, but he's ready to return to the team. It's unclear what size role Cashman will have immediately, but he should rotate in behind tentative starters Neville Hewitt and Avery Williamson. Cashman recorded 40 tackles over just seven games in his 2019 rookie campaign.
Sep 15, 2020
Placed on IR
Cashman (groin) was placed on the reserve/injured list Tuesday, Eric Allen of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Cashman left Sunday's game in the first quarter and was replaced by Harvey Langi for the remainder of the day. Cashman will have to serve at least three weeks on IR before he can be activated to the roster again, so look for Langi to serve as the interim starter for the time being.
Sep 14, 2020
Could miss multiple games
Coach Adam Gase said Cashman (groin) could be "looking at a couple weeks" before he returns, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Cashman exited early in Sunday's loss to the Bills and was quickly ruled out, and it looks like he'll at least miss Week 2's matchup versus the 49ers. The Jets are running low on linebackers, as Patrick Onwuasor (knee) is on IR and Avery Williamson (hamstring) was unavailable for the season opener. Neville Hewitt and Harvey Langi finished the game are are the projected starters this Sunday if Cashman and Williamson are forced to sit out again.
Sep 13, 2020
Gets hurt Sunday
Cashman (groin) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Bills, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear how Cashman suffered the injury, however, this is tough injury luck since the Jets are thin at linebacker. Neville Hewitt and Harvey Langi are the only healthy linebackers for the team Sunday as long as Cashman is sidelined.
Jul 5, 2020
Likely filling reserve role
Cashman (shoulder) likely will enter training camp working in a reserve role at inside linebacker, Ethan Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The return of C.J. Mosley (groin) and signing of Patrick Onwuasor should leave Cashman battling for a reserve role in camp. The 2019 fifth-round pick had 40 tackles (27 solo) and a half sack in seven games before going down with a shoulder injury, but he may see fewer opportunities this season.
Nov 1, 2019
Moves to injured reserve
Cashman (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Friday.
ANALYSIS
Cashman suffered a torn labrum and also fractured his shoulder during Wednesday's practice, so his move to IR was just a matter of time. The fifth-round pick finishes his rookie campaign with 40 tackles (27 solo), a half-sack and a fumble recovery in seven games (five starts).
Oct 31, 2019
Suffers shoulder injury
Cashman will not practice Thursday due to a shoulder injury, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Cashman sustained the injury during Wednesday's practice. The Jets are currently awaiting Cashman's medical results, and coach Adam Gase noted concern about Cashman's history of shoulder issues, according to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News. With C.J. Mosley (groin) and Neville Hewitt (neck) both nursing injuries, James Burgess and B.J. Bello are the only healthy inside linebackers on New York's roster as of Thursday.
Sep 4, 2019
No injury designation
Cashman (leg) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report.
ANALYSIS
After Avery Williamson suffered a torn ACL in preseason, Cashman had a chance to secure a starting job but he also got injured soon after. Nevertheless, Cashman is healthy now and could record a respectable snap count Sunday against the Bills by rotating with Neville Hewitt at inside linebacker.
Aug 16, 2019
Opportunity appears
Cashman could slot into the Jets' starting defense with Avery Williamson (knee) having suffered an ACL tear Friday, Matt Stypulkoski of NJ.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Cashman projects to compete for starting snaps with journeyman linebacker Neville Hewitt. The rookie fifth-round pick led the Minnesota Golden Gophers with 104 tackles as a senior, but his modest size (6-foot-1, 237 pounds) could limit him to a rotational role. The Jets may opt to play to Cashman's strengths, utilizing the rookie primarily in coverage while affording the majority of run-stopping work to Hewitt.
