Vikings' Blake Cashman: Active against Jacksonville
Rotowire
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.
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.
Vikings' Blake Cashman: Opens week as limited participant
Rotowire
Cashman (toe) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
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.
Cashman (toe) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Colts.
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.
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.

Vikings' Blake Cashman: Getting close to return
Rotowire
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.
Cashman (toe) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions.
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.
