Saints' Ty Chandler: Placed on injured reserve
The Saints placed Chandler (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Chandler suffered a season-ending knee injury during Saturday's preseason game against the Rams. The running back has been placed on injured reserve and will miss the entirety of the 2026 season. The Saints added Zamir White in a trade with the 49ers to make up for the loss of Chandler.

Saints' Ty Chandler: Could miss time with knee injury
Chandler suffered a knee injury during Saturday's preseason game against the Rams that is feared to be serious, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
The report notes that Chandler is still being evaluated, but the expectation is that he will miss some time. The running back had been competing for a depth role in the Saints' banged-up backfield, and since he sustained his injury, the team added Zamir White via a trade with the 49ers.

Saints' Ty Chandler: Moving to New Orleans
Chandler and the Saints agreed to terms on a one-year deal Tuesday, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Chandler, a 2022 fifth-round pick, appeared in just three games for the Vikings last season due to a knee injury, gaining 47 yards on 17 carries while catching three of four targets for 11 yards. However, he appeared in all 34 of Minnesota's regular-season contests in 2023-24, recording 643 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 158 carries. Chandler will likely compete for a backup role behind Travis Etienne in New Orleans and could also see action as a kickoff returner.

Vikings' Ty Chandler: Double-digit carries in win
Chandler rushed 10 times for 23 yards and caught three of four targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 16-3 win over the Packers.
Chandler was able to step into a more significant role in the backfield with Aaron Jones (hip) inactive in Week 18, garnering a season-high 10 carries. Chandler also reeled in his first passes of the year, finishing tied for second on the team in catches with wide receiver Jalen Nailor. The running back missed the majority of the season while on injured reserve with a knee injury, and he'll end the year having compiled 47 rushing yards on 17 carries while catching three of four targets for 11 yards over three regular-season contests. Chandler will enter the offseason as a free agent, and considering both Jones and Jordan Mason are under contract for next year, Chandler feels unlikely to return to Minnesota.

Vikings' Ty Chandler: Gets first touches of season
Chandler carried the ball seven times for 24 yards in the Vikings' 23-10 win over the Lions on Christmas Day.
Out since Week 1 due to a knee injury, Chandler was activated from IR earlier in the week and stepped into the No. 2 RB role with Jordan Mason (ankle) sidelined. The seven carries represented Chandler's first touches of the season, and they all came in the second half after Aaron Jones had been checked out for a leg injury late in the second quarter. The veteran back wasn't removed from the game entirely after halftime, however. With both Mason and Jones potentially at less than 100 percent, and the Vikings having nothing on the line in their regular-season finale, Chandler could see an even bigger workload in Week 18 against the Packers.

Vikings' Ty Chandler: Activated from IR
The Vikings activated Chandler (knee) from injured reserve Tuesday.
With Jordan Mason (ankle) listed as a non-participant in Monday's practice, Chandler's return and full practice participation could lead to a role in Thursday's game against the Lions. The running back has played just one game this year, logging zero offensive snaps and 13 special teams snaps that resulted in 84 kick return yards. If Mason is unable to go, the 2022 fifth-rounder could see rotational snaps behind the starter, Aaron Jones.

Vikings' Ty Chandler: Ruled out for Week 16
Chandler (knee) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Chandler managed to practice in full throughout Week 16 prep, but he nonetheless won't yet come off IR. His next chance to retake the field will come in Week 17 versus the Lions on Thursday, Dec. 25.

Vikings' Ty Chandler: Chance to play Week 16
Chandler (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Chandler was a full practice participant during Week 16 prep, but he'll have to be activated from injured reserve Saturday in order to be available for Sunday's game. If he's cleared to play, Chandler would likely leapfrog Zavier Scott as the Vikings' RB3 behind Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason. Chandler would also be in the mix to join Myles Price as a returner on kickoffs.

Vikings' Ty Chandler: Logs another full practice
Chandler (knee) logged a full practice Wednesday.
Chandler has been practicing for most of December after he was designated to return from injured reserve. The running back is uncertain to be activated ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Giants, but if he is, he would likely see most of his playing time on special teams.

Vikings' Ty Chandler: Won't play Sunday
Chandler (knee) was ruled out Saturday for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
Chandler has been sidelined since Week 1 while dealing with a knee injury, and he was designated to return from IR on Dec. 3. The 27-year-old was a full participant during practice this week, but he'll remain out for at least one more game. Chandler will have to be restored to the active roster by Dec. 24, or else he'll revert to IR for the remainder of the season. His next opportunity to play will be the Week 16 contest versus the Giants on Sunday, Dec. 21.

Vikings' Ty Chandler: Continues to practice
Chandler (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Chandler continues to string full practice sessions together as he works his way back from a knee injury he sustained in Week 1 against the Bears. If the running back is activated from injured reserve for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, he'll likely rotate in behind the top duo of Jordan Mason and Aaron Jones (shoulder).

Vikings' Ty Chandler: Questionable for Sunday
Chandler (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys.
The 27-year-old practiced in full both Wednesday and Thursday but remains on the injured reserve list, leaving his status for Sunday's matchup in question. The Vikings must activate Chandler to their active roster in order for him to suit up in Week 15. If activated in time, the North Carolina product will likely serve as one of Minnesota's top kick returners.

Vikings' Ty Chandler: Logs full practice Wednesday
Chandler (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Chandler continues to progress in his recovery from a knee injury that he sustained in the Vikings' regular-season opener against the Bears. He would have to be activated from injured reserve in order to play Sunday against the Cowboys, and if he is cleared to play, he would serve as the Vikings' RB3 behind Aaron Jones (shoulder) and Jordan Mason.

Vikings' Ty Chandler: Staying on injured reserve
The Vikings have ruled out Chandler (knee) for Sunday's game versus the Commanders.
Since Minnesota designated Chandler for return from injured reserve Wednesday, he followed an LP/FP/FP practice regimen before the team considered him questionable for Week 14 action. Now that he's officially unavailable Sunday, the Vikings will continue to roll with the RB trio of Aaron Jones, Jordan Mason and Zavier Scott. Chandler's next chance to play is Sunday, Dec. 14 at Dallas.

Vikings' Ty Chandler: Questionable but still on IR
Chandler (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders.
Chandler would first have to be officially activated from injured reserve to play Sunday. He has been sidelined since sustaining a knee injury Week 1, but Chandler's window to return to practice opened Wednesday. Even if Chandler's activated ahead of Sunday's game, he's unlikely to play a significant role in Minnesota's backfield mix on offense, though he could factor in as a return man on special teams.
