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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Chandler carried the ball seven times for 24 yards in the Vikings' 23-10 win over the Lions on Christmas Day.

EDGE Analysis

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.

The Vikings activated Chandler (knee) from injured reserve Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Chandler (knee) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Chandler (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Chandler (knee) logged a full practice Wednesday,

EDGE Analysis

Chandler has been practicing for most of December after he was designated to return from injured reserve. It remains unclear if he'll be activated ahead of Minnesota's Week 16 matchup against the Giants, and he'd likely return primarily to special teams duties.

Chandler (knee) was ruled out Saturday for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Chandler (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Chandler (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

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 was activated from injured reserve for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, he would join Jordan Mason in backing up Aaron Jones (shoulder).

Chandler (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

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, then he would serve as the Vikings' RB3 behind Aaron Jones (shoulder) and Jordan Mason.
