The Minnesota Vikings will be without two key players against the Pittsburgh Steelers when they head over to Dublin, Ireland, in a few weeks. Running back Ty Chandler has a knee injury that forced the Vikings to put him on injured reserve. Meanwhile, starting linebacker Blake Cashman has a hamstring injury that will force him to miss considerable time.
Both players will not play for the next four games as a result of going on injured reserve. Chandler was a key reserve for the Vikings, and they used him as their return man, but that will have to change moving forward.
With Cashman out, the Vikings will turn to Eric Wilson, who has been a key special teamer for them. Wilson will play next to Ivan Pace, who has become a breakout star for the Vikings over the last few seasons.
At returner, undrafted free agent Myles Price will take over those duties full time. He is the top kick returner and punt returner on the team and that was a significant part of his roster push.
The Vikings will get wide receiver Jordan Addison back from a three-game suspension for the team’s game in Dublin against the Steelers.
