Cashman Returns to Practice, can he Stay Healthy to Give Linebackers a Boost?

[JetNation]

With starting linebacker Jarrad Davis still sidelined due to injury and rookie linebacker going on injured reserve yesterday, the Jets could use some help at the position and it seems help is on the way…sort of.

Oft injured linebacker Blake Cashman made his return to practice today but if history is any indicator, he won’t be around for long.

LB Blake Cashman (injured reserve) returns to practice this week. #Jets need him with a shortage of bodies at LB.

Suffering one injury after another, Cashman has been limited to just 12 games since being drafted in 2019.  As many expected, he suffered a hamstring injury in week 1 and has been out ever since.  If Cashman could miraculously find a way to stay on the field, he could be a nice piece on defense for the Jets as he offers plus coverage skills and positional versatility as a player who can line up inside or out.

Cashman will be joining a group that is coming off of one of its best games in recent memory with CJ Mosley and Quincy Williams combining for 25 tackles and a pair of sacks.

dude will probably get injured again before this weeks game.

How about signing Jaylon Smith?

I want Cashman to do well, but can anyone tell me what Cashman does well? Answers besides, he does well at getting injured. What does Cashman do when he is playing at his peak?

[Daddy Wang Doodle]

I recall Cashman playing quite well when he was on the field.

This seems like ages ago though

When he's in there, he's good in coverage, is a good tackler and flys all over the place.  There's a reason he hasnt been cut despite all these injuries. They have high hopes for him.

Not a chance

I'm not even sure this is an actual question honestly.

Cashman may only be here for a week if Jarrad Davis comes back after the bye, which would make this LB group look a lot better.

Cashman makes Pennington's shoulder look sturdy.

That makes sense. The fact that he was drafted by Maccagnan and is still on the team speaks volumes as well. 

[Jetlife33]

Guaranteed he goes down with a hammy on the opening kickoff 

[mrcoops]

Hopefully he can avoid injury for a couple of weeks until Davis gets back.

[Origen]

As a rookie he stepped in for Mosely for the first few games after CJ got hurt and played relatively well for a rookie, then he got hurt and has pretty much been banged up ever since.  So who knows what he can do anymore?

He might already be injured again as I post this.

I think he's better than Davis. I've been hoping he can just get healthy and that he just had a streak of bad luck

Honestly he’s been hurt so much I can’t remember what he played like. Hopefully he can stay on the field.

I said that the Jets should cut Cashman before the season due to his continued injuries, and what does he do, he gets injured again.

The most important ability is availability, and he doesn't have it.

[Snell41]

Has he learned all the WR routes?

He's certainly had plenty of time to study the playbook during his numerous injury stints.

oh so this Cashman you like ...LMAO

[Irish Jet]

He will probably suffer a season ending injury mid-flight.

[varjet]

I think the Jets figure that because he is a cheap 5th round draft pick, if he can play well for 1/2 the games it’s ok.  

[heymangold]

IN before cashman gets hurt again.
