Vikings-Packers injury updates: Who could miss NFC North matchup? See the latest.

Linebacker Blake Cashman is in concussion protocol and would not have been able to practice Wednesday for the Minnesota Vikings, according to coach Kevin O’Connell, putting his availability in question for Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers. The Vikings did not practice Wednesday coming off Monday night’s loss to the Buffalo Bills , but the team issued an estimated injury report that also listed quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring) as a non-participant. Quarterback Carson Wentz would have been limited by an ankle injury sustained against the Bills. Cashman, the Vikings’ leading tackler for a third straight season, was evaluated for a “stinger” neck injury during the Bills game, according to O’Connell. “He ended up taking a hit or more than likely giving a hit later on in that game,” O’Connell said Wednesday. “He’s doing really, really well.” Advertisement Whether or not Cashman can play against a Packers offense that just put up a season-high 45 points against the New England Patriots remains to be seen. Linebacker Ivan Pace Jr. would presumably step into a larger role should Cashman miss his first game of the year. Murray resumed running on the field Monday morning, O’Connell said. “Just started his running progression,” O’Connell said. “He’s still in that week-to-week mode. The hamstring strains respond differently and can progress on different timelines.” Load more
