Cashman recorded seven tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 16-3 Week 18 win over Green Bay. He concluded the season with 144 stops (61 solo), including 2.0 sacks, a forced fumble and two defensed passes across 13 contests.

EDGE Analysis

Cashman got some well-deserved rest in the season finale -- he logged fewer than 90 percent of Minnesota's defensive snaps for the first time since Week 1 -- but still managed to finish second on the team in stops. The veteran linebacker capped a productive campaign with a sack of Green Bay QB Clayton Tune for a 10-yard loss in the fourth quarter. Though he missed four games due to injury, Cashman still set a career-high mark with 144 tackles on the season, ranking ninth in the NFL in that category. Cashman should be back to anchor the Vikings' defense in 2026 in what will be the final season of a three-year contract, barring an extension.

EDGE Analysis

Cashman (elbow) was limited in practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Cashman thrived with a season-high 17 tackles against Detroit on Christmas Day, but he appears to have hurt his elbow in the process. At this point it seems more likely than not that the veteran linebacker will be able to suit up for Sunday's season finale against the Packers, though Cashman's practice status throughout the remainder of this week bears keeping an eye on. Should Cashman have to sit out Sunday's contest, Ivan Pace could absorb most of his snaps on defense.

Cashman recorded 17 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Vikings' 23-10 win over the Lions on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Cashman logged 16 tackles (seven solo) during the Vikings' 16-13 win over the Giants on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

It was another active performance from Cashman, who played every single defensive snap and tied a season high with 16 combined tackles. He has reached double-digit stops in eight of his last nine games, and his 120 combined tackles (through 11 regular-season games) marks a career high for the 2019 fifth-rounder. Cashman will look to add to his tackling total Christmas Day against the Lions, whose offensive line is dealing with injuries to starting offensive linemen Taylor Decker (shoulder), Graham Glasgow (knee) and Christian Mahogany (lower leg).

Cashman recorded 11 total tackles (three solo) in Sunday night's 34-26 win over the Cowboys.

EDGE Analysis

Cashman registered nine tackles (five solo) and a defensed pass Sunday in a Week 13 loss to Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Cashman's tackle total ranked second on the Vikings behind Eric Wilson (11). Despite the solid performance, Cashman did see a five-game streak of double-digit stops come to an end. However, his defensed pass marked his first of the campaign.

Cashman recorded 16 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 23-6 loss to the Packers.

EDGE Analysis

Cashman recorded double-digit stops for the fifth consecutive game and also logged his highest solo tackle total of the campaign. He has played 100 percent of defensive snaps in all six of his healthy games this season and should remain one of the more consistent IDP contributors at linebacker for the rest of the campaign.

Cashman recorded 15 total tackles (six solo) in Sundays 19-17 loss to the Bears.

EDGE 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.
