Cleared to return Week 7
Cashman (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Analysis: Cashman was activated off injured reserve Saturday, and the 2019 fifth-rounder has been cleared to return from a four-game absence due to a hamstring injury he sustained against the Bears in Week 1. Cashman should slide back into his starting role at inside linebacker alongside Ivan Pace, which would revert Eric Wilson to a rotational role.

Activated from IR
The Vikings activated Cashman (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday, but he's still questionable for Sunday's contest against the Eagles.
Analysis: Cashman has been out of action since suffering a hamstring injury during the Vikings' Week 1 win over the Bears. He was a full participant in practice all week, and his return to the active roster gives him a chance to play Week 7. Cashman's presence would mean less snaps at inside linebacker for Eric Wilson, who has started in each of the Vikings' last four games and logged 30 tackles (15 solo) and two forced fumbles over that span.

Slated to miss time with injury
Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Wednesday that Cashman (hamstring) is expected to miss time.
Analysis: Cashman exited early from Monday's season-opening win over Chicago and subsequently underwent an MRI on his hamstring. Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reported that there was an initial expectation that Cashman would miss "several" weeks, and that still seems to be on the table given O'Connell's comments Wednesday. Eric Wilson steeped up with five tackles following Cashman's departure Monday and figures to take on a starting role during the latter's absence.

Slated for MRI
Cashman will get an MRI on his hamstring, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Analysis: Cashman was hurt in the third period of Monday's win over Chicago while attempting to chase down Bears QB Caleb Williams. The news that Cashman will undergo an MRI suggests that he could be dealing with an injury that's more than minor, though he probably won't receive a diagnosis until the results of the test come in. If Cashman were to miss time, Eric Wilson would likely step into a starting role.

Cashman (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday night's contest against the Bears, Lindsey Young of the Vikings' official site reports.
Analysis: Cashman pulled up lame after trying to chase down Caleb Williams after the quarterback had escaped the pocket in the third quarter. It is now understood that the linebacker suffered a hamstring injury, and his status at practice this week will be worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Falcons in Week 2.

Cashman recorded 19 tackles, one sack, two quarterback hits and one pass defensed in Week 11's 21-16 win over Arizona.
Analysis: Cashman, who has served as the strongside linebacker for most of the season, was pressed into duty in the middle Sunday and responded with a new career high in tackles.

Being evaluated
Cashman has exited Sunday's game against the Chargers to be evaluated for a concussion.
Analysis: Cashman is considered questionable to return. However, if he did suffer a concussion he'll certainly be out for the remainder of the game. He had recorded one tackle in Sunday's contest before suffering the injury.

Drawing praise at practice
Coach Lovie Smith said Wednesday that Cashman has "come from nowhere" during training camp.
Analysis: Smith's comments suggest Cashman has put the groin injury that kept him out of the last 10 games of the 2021 season behind him. Despite having drafted Alabama's Christian Harris in the third round of this year's draft, the rebuilding Texans don't necessarily have an excess of talent at linebacker behind Christian Kirksey and Kamu Grugier-Hill, meaning Cashman has a legitimate shot to see a notable role in 2022.

Traded to Houston
The Texans acquired Cashman (groin) from the Jets on Wednesday in exchange for a late-round draft pick, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Cashman has played only 14 games across his first three seasons in the league, and he'll make his way to Houston for the final year of his rookie contract. He recorded 40 total tackles and a half-sack in seven games as a rookie in 2019 but has only nine tackles in the past two years while missing significant time due to injuries. Cashman sat out the Jets' final 10 games of the 2021 campaign due to a groin injury.

Finishes season on IR
Cashman (groin) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Dec. 24 and reverted to injured reserve, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: Cashman spent just over two weeks on the list after testing positive for the virus Dec. 8. Since he had already suffered a season-ending groin injury in late October, his placement on the virus list didn't have an effect on his recovery timeline.

Tests positive for COVID-19
Cashman's (groin) placement on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday was a result of a positive test for the virus, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.
Analysis: Before landing on the list, Cashman had been residing on injured reserve with the groin injury he sustained Week 7 in New England. Since the Jets had yet to designate the reserve linebacker for return from IR prior to him landing on the list, Cashman likely won't be cleared to resume practicing this week even if he's vaccinated and clears all COVID-19-related protocols in short order. With that in mind, Cashman is safe to rule out for Sunday's game against the Saints, though he could have a…read more

Placed on COVID-19 list
Cashman (undisclosed) was placed on the COVID-19/reserve list Monday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Analysis: The linebacker is now the third Jets player to currently wind up on the COVID-19 list. Cashman will also remain on New York's injured reserve as he continues to deal with a groin injury suffered in Week 7.

Placed on IR
Cashman (groin) was moved to injured reserve Tuesday.
Analysis: The linebacker suffered the groin injury this weekend versus the Patriots and will miss at least three games before returning from the IR. Cashman has only appeared in three contests this season due to a hamstring injury earlier in the year, collecting three tackles, all of which came in Week 7. Del'Shawn Phillips started at inside linebacker for C.J. Mosley (hamstring) Sunday, but may need to shift to outside linebacker for the time being.

Getting an MRI
Cashman (groin) is undergoing an MRI on Monday, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.
Analysis: Cashman injured his groin during the Jets' Week 7 loss to the Patriots, and depending on the MRI results, he may miss some time. The 25-year-old linebacker has only played in three games during the 2021 campaign, as he was placed on IR after suffering a hamstring injury during the season opener.

Suffers groin injury
Cashman (groin) is questionable to return Sunday against the Patriots, according to Brian Costello of the New York Post.
Analysis: Cashman has been dealing with injuries all season long, and he is now suspected to have suffered a new ailment in what has been his third appearance of the campaign. He already spent time on the injured list due to a hamstring injury suffered in Week 1.

Hits IR
Cashman (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
Analysis: Cashman will sit out at least three games, meaning Week 5 against the Falcons is his earliest return date. With Jamien Sherwood (ankle) also expected to miss two weeks, the Jets signed BJ Goodson to the active roster to add depth at linebacker. They also have Del'Shawn Phillips -- who posted 12 tackles in Week 1 -- on their practice squad.

Out at least two weeks
Cashman is expected to miss two weeks after injuring his hamstring during Sunday's contest, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: After a strong rookie campaign in 2019, Cashman's 2020 was plagued by hamstring issues. He landed on IR with a hamstring injury on two separate occasions last year, so his latest injury should be concerning. The Jets' only healthy outside linebacker is Hamsah Nasirildeen, so they will likely have to make a move at the position before Week 2.

Shifts to IR
The Jets placed Cashman (hamstring) on injured reserve Thursday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: This will be Cashman's second stint on IR this season with the hamstring issue, so his season will come to an end. The Minnesota product significantly underwhelmed after a strong rookie campaign in 2019, as he supplied just six tackles (four solo) across four games this year. Cashman will now focus on getting healthy ahead of the 2021 season.

On track to miss time
Coach Adam Gase said Monday that Cashman (hamstring) could miss a couple weeks, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Cashman sat out the last three games with a hamstring injury but returned to the lineup Sunday against the Dolphins. He aggravated the injury, however, and he could miss more time as a result. Cashman only plays on special teams, where he has recorded a team-high six tackles, but his absence won't shake up the dynamic on defense.

Cashman is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins due to a hamstring injury, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
Analysis: The 24-year-old was questionable for Sunday's contest with a hamstring issue, and he appears to have aggravated the injury. Cashman recorded one tackle before leaving the game.

Shakes off injury
Cashman (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game versus the Dolphins, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
Analysis: Cashman is back in action for the first time since Week 7. He's played in only three games this year, recording three snaps on defense. However, he could have an increased role against the divisional opponent, as Patrick Onwuasor (hamstring) has been placed on IR. Still, Neville Hewitt and Harvey Langi are expected to start at inside linebacker.

Won't play Week 11
Cashman (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Analysis: The 24-year-old was considered doubtful for Sunday's contest, so there was never much of a chance of him suiting up versus Los Angeles. Cashman hasn't seen the field since Week 7 and hasn't played a defensive snap since the season opener.

Still working through hammy issues
Cashman (hamstring) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Analysis: Cashman injured both hamstrings back in a Week 7 loss to the Bills, and he's still unable to practice. He's slated to miss a third straight game, so the second-year linebacker out of Minnesota will set his focus on returning next week against the Dolphins.

Can't practice Wednesday
Cashman (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
Analysis: Cashman's hamstring injury has caused him to miss back-to-back games, and despite now coming off a bye, it looks like he could be forced to miss another contest. In that case, Harvey Langi would be in line to see an uptick in snaps during Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Out again Week 9
Cashman (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Patriots, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Cashman will be sidelined for the second straight contest due to the hamstring injury, but he'll have the bye in Week 10 to aid in his recovery before missing additional time. Harvey Langi should have an increased role Sunday, especially with starter Avery Williamson traded earlier in the week.

Ready for Week 6
The Jets activated Cashman (groin) from injured reserve Saturday.
Analysis: Cashman logged just three defensive snaps before leaving the season opener, but he's ready to return to the team. It's unclear what size role Cashman will have immediately, but he should rotate in behind tentative starters Neville Hewitt and Avery Williamson. Cashman recorded 40 tackles over just seven games in his 2019 rookie campaign.

Cashman (groin) was placed on the reserve/injured list Tuesday, Eric Allen of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Cashman left Sunday's game in the first quarter and was replaced by Harvey Langi for the remainder of the day. Cashman will have to serve at least three weeks on IR before he can be activated to the roster again, so look for Langi to serve as the interim starter for the time being.

Could miss multiple games
Coach Adam Gase said Cashman (groin) could be "looking at a couple weeks" before he returns, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
Analysis: Cashman exited early in Sunday's loss to the Bills and was quickly ruled out, and it looks like he'll at least miss Week 2's matchup versus the 49ers. The Jets are running low on linebackers, as Patrick Onwuasor (knee) is on IR and Avery Williamson (hamstring) was unavailable for the season opener. Neville Hewitt and Harvey Langi finished the game and are the projected starters this Sunday if Cashman and Williamson are forced to sit out again.

Gets hurt Sunday
Cashman (groin) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Bills, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.
Analysis: It's unclear how Cashman suffered the injury, however, this is tough injury luck since the Jets are thin at linebacker. Neville Hewitt and Harvey Langi are the only healthy linebackers for the team Sunday as long as Cashman is sidelined.

Likely filling reserve role
Cashman (shoulder) likely will enter training camp working in a reserve role at inside linebacker, Ethan Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
Analysis: The return of C.J. Mosley (groin) and signing of Patrick Onwuasor should leave Cashman battling for a reserve role in camp. The 2019 fifth-round pick had 40 tackles (27 solo) and a half sack in seven games before going down with a shoulder injury, but he may see fewer opportunities this season.

Moves to injured reserve
Cashman (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Friday.
Analysis: Cashman suffered a torn labrum and also fractured his shoulder during Wednesday's practice, so his move to IR was inevitable. The fifth-round pick finishes his rookie campaign with 40 tackles (27 solo), a half-sack and a fumble recovery in seven games (five starts).
