Minnesota Vikings linebacker Blake Cashman is entering his second season with his hometown team, but the Twin Cities native appears an IR candidate after a Week 1 injury.

A starter since signing a three-year Vikings deal in 2024, Cashman is expected to miss “several” weeks due to a hamstring injury suffered Monday night, per the Minneapolis Star-Tribune’s Ben Goessling. The off-ball linebacker left Monday’s game in the third quarter.
