Blake Cashman - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Vikings defender dominated the 2025 season without anyone noticing Minnesota Vikings linebacker Blake Cashman was recently recognized for his outstanding play during the 2025 NFL season.

JANUARY 10 • THEVIKINGAGE.COM

Strong finish to 2025-26 campaign 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...

Impact 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.

Full practice Thursday Cashman (elbow) was a full participant at practice Thursday.

Impact Cashman was able to log a full session after opening the week as a limited participant at practice Wednesday with an elbow issue. The linebacker is now set to try and build off of his 17-tackle performance from Week 17 against the Lions when the Vikings square off with the Packers on Sunday.

Managing elbow issue Cashman (elbow) was limited in practice Wednesday.

Impact 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.

Impact After matching a season high with 16 tackles against the Giants in Week 16, Cashman did one better Christmas Day with 17 stops, which was his most in a game since Week 11 of the 2023 season (19 tackles). Cashman has recorded double-digit stops in four consecutive games and in nine of his last 10 outings. He's up to 137 tackles (58 solo), including 1.0 sacks, two pass defenses and one forced fumble through 12 regular-season games.

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

Impact 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).

Impact Cashman led the Vikings in stops while reaching the double-digit mark for the sixth time in his past seven games. In the one contest during that span that he fell short, Cashman logged nine tackles.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.
