  • Big downturn in Week 12 loss

    Chandler rushed four times for eight yards and secured one of two targets for three yards in the Vikings' 12-10 loss to the Bears on Monday.

    Analysis: A game after he posted an impressive 110 total yards on 14 touches against the Broncos, Chandler saw his role significantly reduced. The reserve back was also much more inefficient while facing a stingy Bears run defense, and the downturn in opportunity and production seems to indicate Alexander Mattison's hold on the top running back job is as secure as ever heading into the Vikings' Week 13 bye before a Week 14 road matchup against the Raiders.

  • Impressive with 14 touches Sunday

    Chandler rushed 10 times for 73 yards and secured all four targets for 37 yards in the Vikings' 21-20 loss to the Broncos on Sunday night.

    Analysis: Chandler logged eight fewer carries but only eight fewer rushing yards than backfield mate Alexander Mattison, who managed to return despite an early Week 10 exit due to a concussion. Chandler had averaged only 3.0 yards per carry while pulling emergency duty in that contest, but the second-year back was exponentially more efficient Sunday with the help of a game-long 31-yard run. The 2022 fifth-round pick's work as a pass catcher was also noteworthy, and given his solid body of work versus…read more

  • Could split work with Mattison

    Chandler could be in line for a "pretty even split" of work out of the backfield Sunday against the Broncos with Alexander Mattison (concussion), who remains listed as questionable but is on track to play, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Despite sustaining a concussion in last Sunday's win over New Orleans, Mattison was able to clear the five-step protocol relatively quickly. Though he took a questionable tag into the weekend, Mattison was a full practice participant Friday, and he appears to have received clearance from an independent neurologist to return to game action this Sunday. Though Mattison has operated as the Vikings' lead back all season, he's yet to score a touchdown as a runner and is averaging a lowly 3.5 yards…read more

  • Gets opportunity as top back

    Chandler rushed the ball 15 times for 45 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-19 win over the Saints.

    Analysis: Alexander Mattison (concussion) was forced from the game early in the third quarter, though Chandler saw plenty of opportunity prior to Mattison's exit. At the close of the first half, Chandler had five rushing attempts to Mattison's four, and he also found his way into the end zone on a two-yard run in the second quarter. The only downside was Chandler's lack of involvement as a pass catcher, but he appears to have a role in the Minnesota backfield even if Mattison returns in time for a Week…read more

  • Set up for increased role

    Chandler is expected to take over as Alexander Mattison's top backup after Cam Akers sustained a ruptured Achilles during Sunday's game at Atlanta, Kevin Seifert of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: With Akers now set to miss the remainder of the season, Chandler finds himself positioned as Minnesota's No. 2 running back going into Week 10. He's gotten just 13 touches through nine games so far this season, returning 85 yards from scrimmage on those opportunities.

  • Relegated to special teams

    Chandler played all 16 of his snaps on special teams Sunday in the Vikings' 19-13 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: For the third week in a row, Chandler was limited exclusively to special-teams work with trade acquisition Cam Akers having settled in as the No. 2 back behind Alexander Mattison. Akers is averaging a solid 5.7 yards per carry since joining the Vikings, so the coaching staff may not be overly motivated to give Chandler a look on offense.

  • Big play on special teams

    Chandler had one carry for 15 yards on a fake punt to get a first down in Sunday's loss to Kansas City.

    Analysis: Chandler didn't play any snaps on offense, as he's been limited to special teams after the acquisition of Cam Akers.

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

  • 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.

    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
