Vikings and Jaguars Face Key Injuries Ahead of Clash

The Minnesota Vikings are preparing for their game against the Jacksonville Jaguars with linebacker Blake Cashman likely returning from a three-game absence due to turf toe. Cashman has been a key defensive player, and his return could bolster the Vikings' defense as they face the Jaguars. Meanwhile, the Jaguars are dealing with their own injury issues, including the potential absence of quarterback Trevor Lawrence, paving the way for Mac Jones to start. The Vikings' defense might be at full strength if Cashman and linebacker Ivan Pace Jr., who has been dealing with a knee injury, both play. The Jaguars have had to adjust their lineup, with Blake Hance stepping in as the starting left guard due to injuries. As both teams manage injuries, their performances could hinge on the availability and effectiveness of key players like Cashman and Lawrence.
