Overview
- Cashman exited the Week 1 win in Chicago with a non-contact hamstring injury while chasing Caleb Williams and did not return.
- Kevin O’Connell said Cashman is getting an MRI, and multiple reports indicate the initial expectation is an absence of several weeks.
- Reports have raised injured reserve as a possibility to manage the roster, though the team has not announced that move.
- Eric Wilson replaced Cashman in the fourth quarter, logged five tackles with a tackle for loss, and deflected a punt that helped fuel the comeback.
- O’Connell said RB Ty Chandler will also miss a few weeks, Andrew Van Ginkel and Jeff Okudah are in the concussion protocol, and Harrison Smith and Christian Darrisaw are progressing as Minnesota readies for Week 2.
