Cashman is not expected to play in Sunday’s game against the Lions — and could miss next week's showdown with the Rams in LA — due to turf toe, sources told the Minnesota Star Tribune

According to Andrew Krammer of the Star Tribune, Cashman has turf toe and is unlikely to play when the Vikings host the Lions in an NFC North battle at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday. Cashman wears the green dot for Minnesota's defense, which means he's the guy organizing the defense and relaying the play calls from defensive coordinator Brian Flores.
