Cashman (toe) has been ruled out for Thursday against the Rams. 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.

Head coach Kevin O'Connell stated Monday that he isn't sure if Cashman (toe) will be available Thursday against the Rams, but he is positive he should return no later than Week 9, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. 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.
