Limited to special teams
Chandler didn't have a carry and wasn't targeted in the passing game in Sunday's win at Carolina. He played just six snaps, all on special teams.
Analysis: Cam Akers moved into the backup role behind starter Alexander Mattison in his first game since his trade from the Rams. It looks like Chandler will be limited to special teams and be used sparingly on offense if the top two running backs remain healthy.

Has 31 total yards in backup role
Chandler had three carries for 27 yards and one reception for four yards on two targets in Sunday's loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Chandler worked as the backup to Alexander Mattison and played on 12 of the offense's 83 snaps. While Chandler showed a spark in the running game (9.0 YPC), he could move to a third-string role Week 4 at Carolina if Cam Akers joins the active game-day roster after his trade from the Rams.

Plays just seven snaps
Chandler had one carry for no gain and two receptions for nine yards on two targets in Thursday's loss at Philadelphia.
Analysis: Chandler played on just seven of the offense's 58 snaps, as he got little work despite starter Alexander Mattison struggling to run the ball (3.5 YPC). Mattison played 44 snaps, and it looks like Chandler will have a minimal reserve role in the backfield.

Clear backup RB in opener
Chandler had three carries for a net of zero yards and one reception for 18 yards on his lone target in Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay. He also returned a kickoff for 15 yards.
Analysis: Chandler played on 11 of the offense's 64 snaps as the backup to Alexander Mattison (47 snaps). Chandler showed a burst on the 18-yard reception, but he otherwise was part of an anemic rushing attack that had just a 2.4 YPC. He looks like the clear backup to Mattison as Myles Gaskin didn't play in the loss. Chandler also will be used as a kick returner.

Joined by Gaskin in backfield
Chandler and Myles Gaskin will provide depth behind Alexander Mattison to start the season, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With Kene Nwangwu (undisclosed) placed on injured reserve and rookie DeWayne McBride landing on the practice squad, Minnesota signed Gaskin on Wednesday to provide some experience behind Mattison. While Gaskin could earn a role, Chandler is more likely to get touches off the bench Week 1 against Tampa Bay and will also replace Nwangwu on kickoff returns.

Heavy workload against Titans
Chandler carried the ball 11 times for 24 yards in Saturday's 24-16 preseason loss to the Titans.
Analysis: Alexander Mattison didn't suit up, leaving Chandler as the top back. He stuck on the field throughout the entire first half, while DeWayne McBride saw only one touch in that span. Minnesota has tried out a number of veterans throughout the preseason, but for now, Chandler appears to have the inside track for the backup job to Mattison to begin the regular season.

Helps case for backup job
Chandler rushed 11 times for 41 yards and caught all four of his targets for 29 yards in Thursday's 24-13 preseason loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: Chandler worked as the primary running back for the entire first half, and he showcased some shiftiness as both a rusher and a pass catcher. The 2022 fifth-round pick is in competition for the change-of-pace role behind Alexander Mattison in a Minnesota backfield that no longer features Dalvin Cook. Chandler's competition for the No. 2 spot on the depth chart comes from Kene Nwangwu (undisclosed), who missed this game but could be available for Minnesota's second preseason contest, along with…read more

Lacks clear hold on No. 2 RB role
Neither Chandler nor Kene Nwangwu has a a clear lead on the backup running back role to Alexander Mattison as both have questions about their abilities in pass protection, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Lewis goes as far to speculate that the Vikings could sign a veteran running back late in training camp for the backup role. It's still early in the competition, as each player's showing in preseason games could change the equation. However, neither looks like a lock for the backup role at the moment, and it also doesn't sound like there will be a committee approach at the position as Mattison is the clear lead back.

Can't make most of first-team work
Chandler struggled at Tuesday's practice after replacing a banged-up Alexander Mattison, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: With Kene Nwangwu (undisclosed) already absent and Mattison limping off the field Tuesday, the Vikings temporarily were left with Chandler and rookie seventh-round pick DeWayne McBride as their only healthy halfbacks. Chandler took on most of the first-team snaps but may not have gained anything from it, as Lewis reports that the 2022 fifth-round pick "lacked consistency" and lost a fumble. The good news for Minnesota is that Mattison returned to practice Wednesday, albeit for a walk-through…read more

Could assume increased role
Offensive coordinator Wes Phillips told reporters Thursday that Chandler will "have to be" ready to take on an increased role with the Vikings set to part ways with Dalvin Cook, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The 2022 fifth-round pick logged limited snaps last season as he operated behind Cook and Alexander Mattison, with all six of his carries for 20 yards coming in the last game of the 2022 season. Chandler could now assume a key backup role behind Mattison with Cook on the way out, but he will have competition from Kene Nwangwu and DeWayne McBride, who the team took in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft.

Gets first NFL carries
Chandler posted six rushes for 20 yards during Sunday's 29-13 win against the Bears.
Analysis: The 20122 fifth-round draft pick got his first carries in the final game of the season as starters were rested ahead of the playoffs. He only played in three games and was limited to just special teams in his last two games. He may not be active for the playoffs.

Healthy scratch Sunday
Chandler (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Packers.
Analysis: Chandler was activated from IR on Wednesday, but it was also the end of his 21-day practice window, so he also may not be fully ready to compete. The rookie running back suffered a broken thumb in Week 5 and has not played since. He'll try to earn the chance to suit up Week 18 against the Bears.

Activated from injured reserve
The Vikings activated Chandler (thumb) from injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: Chandler was designated to return from injured reserve Dec. 7, so he was activated on the final day of his 21-day window. He hasn't suited up since Week 5 and played exclusively on special teams over his only two appearances this season, so even if he's active for Week 17, his presence shouldn't impact Minnesota's offensive game plan.

Designated to return from IR
Chandler (thumb) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: Chandler has been out since Week 5 after he suffered a broken thumb in the Vikings' win over the Bears and the team will now have 21 days to either activate him or leave him on IR for the rest of the year. The running back has appeared in two games this season, playing 28 snaps on special teams.

Headed to IR with broken thumb
Minnesota placed Chandler (thumb) on its injured reserve list Tuesday.
Analysis: Chandler sustained a thumb fracture during Sunday's 29-22 win versus Chicago, and he'll now have to sit out at least the Vikings' next four games as he recovers. The rookie fifth-rounder hasn't logged an offensive snap in 2022, but Minnesota will still have to find a way to replace the speedster's special teams reps.

May not go on IR
Chandler is expected to miss multiple weeks due to a broken thumb; however, no decision has been made about whether he will go on IR, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Analysis: Chandler suffered the injury in his second-career game Sunday against the Bears. The rookie will certainly miss multiple weeks; however, the team's hesitancy to put him on IR could mean it doesn't believe he'll necessarily have to miss at least four games.

Expected to miss some time
Chandler will likely sit out for a few weeks after suffering a fractured thumb during Sunday's 29-22 win over the Bears, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Chandler suited up for just his second game of the season Sunday before being forced to exit with what was initially labeled as a hand injury. Now, the rookie running back figures to be sidelined for multiple weeks after it was revealed he suffered a broken thumb, though his exact recovery timeline is still unknown. Chandler was a healthy scratch through the first three games of the season and did not play an offensive snap during his NFL debut in Week 4.

Will not return
Chandler is out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Bears with a hand injury.
Analysis: Chandler was active for just the second time in his rookie season Sunday. However, he still has not seen the ball on offense. He'll work to be back Week 6 against the Dolphins.

Active once again
Chandler will be active Sunday against the Bears, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Analysis: The rookie fifth-round selection was a healthy scratch through the first three weeks of the season, but he'll suit up for the second-straight week. Last Sunday, Chandler played 19 special-teams snaps, but he never saw the field on offense.

Inactive once again
Chandler (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Lions.
Analysis: Chandler will have to wait another week to try and make his NFL debut, as he remains behind Dalvin Cook, Alexander Mattison and Kene Nwangwu on the depth chart. The rookie will keep working to push his way up the Vikings' ranks and earn a chance to suit up in Week 3 against the Lions.

Healthy scratch
Chandler (coach's decision) will not play Sunday against the Packers.
Analysis: Chandler is currently behind Dalvin Cook, Alexander Mattison and Kene Nwangwu on the team's running back positional depth chart, despite a strong preseason. The rookie will keep working to push his way up the Vikings' ranks, so he can make his NFL debut.

Impressive to close out preseason
Chandler rushed five times for 44 yards and brought in his only target for one yard in the Vikings' 23-13 preseason loss to the Broncos on Saturday night.
Analysis: The rookie fifth-round pick saw five carries for the third time in as many preseason games, and he finishes the exhibition slate with an ultra-efficient 7.5 yards per carry. The speedy Chandler currently slots behind Kene Nwangwu for the No. 3 running back job, but the North Carolina product may have surpassed his teammate, who is projected to stick on the roster under any circumstance as a kickoff returner, with Saturday's effort.

Another strong preseason showing
Chandler (ankle) had five carries for 19 yards, including a three-yard touchdown, in Saturday's loss to San Francisco.
Analysis: Chandler missed practice time last week due to a sore ankle, but it doesn't look like anything to worry about. He had a second solid performance which will keep him in the mix for the No. 3 running back role with Kene Nwangwu.

Misses practice with ankle injury
Chandler (ankle) will not practice Thursday but hopes to play in Saturday's preseason game against San Francisco, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Analysis: Chandler had an impressive preseason debut with 50 yards rushing last Sunday. However, it looks like he could be sidelined for the second game which could hinder his battle to win the No. 3 running back role.

Strong preseason debut
Chandler rushed five times for 50 yards in Sunday's 26-20 preseason loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: Chandler made an impressive debut by tearing through the Raiders' backup defense (key starters were healthy scratches). The results are impressive nonetheless, as the rookie fifth-rounder posted an productive final season at North Carolina in 2021 (182 carries for 1,092 yards and 13 touchdowns). The Vikings have one of the more stacked running back rooms in the league, so Chandler could find himself on the practice squad to begin the season if he can't leapfrog Kene Nwangwu, who also stood out…read more
