EAGAN, Minn. — Minnesota Vikings linebacker Blake Cashman will miss multiple weeks with a hamstring injury he suffered while chasing Chicago quarterback Caleb Williams in the season-opening win over the Bears, leaving the defense without a vital player.

The Minnesota Vikings showed a serious level of resolve in Week 1 against the Chicago Bears. Trailing by 11 in the third quarter, they ripped off 21 unanswered points and held on to win 27-24.

On back-to-back plays, Andrew Van Ginkel gets a big stop by getting Luther Burden III in the backfield on a screen pass for negative yards, and then bats down a Caleb Williams pass in the air. The tone-setting linebacker for the Vikings had been quiet all night, but now it seems he is making his presence felt.

Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson sounded off on the home fans booing during Monday night's loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

After the game, injury concerns arose for London, who is dealing with a shoulder issue. The team has a Week 2 battle against the Minnesota Vikings up next. On Wednesday, Atlanta Falcons fans received what sounded initially like a positive update regarding his status, as he's expected to play.
