Vikings' Blake Cashman: Left off injury report

Cashman (finger) was absent from the Vikings' injury report Wednesday ahead of Sunday's Week 1 matchup with the Giants.

Cashman sustained a finger injury that required surgery in mid-August, but it appears he's already moved past the issue and will be ready for Minnesota's regular-season opener Sunday. Expect the first-year Viking to serve as one of the team's top inside linebackers after recording 106 total tackles across 14 regular-season games with the Texans in 2023.
