RB Ty Chandler to IR: Sign DB Theo Jackson from Titans PS

Ty Chandler o Jackson Vikings Minnesota Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings were likely to have a roster spot open up after injuries that occurred this past Sunday against the Chicago Bears. That happened on Tuesday when the Vikings placed rookie running back Ty Chandler on injured reserve.

Chandler suffered a broken thumb that head coach Kevin O’Connell said would keep him out for an extended period of time. His going on injured reserve was expected and the addition of a position other than running back also makes a ton of sense, as carrying four tailbacks was more to keep Chandler in the building than anything.

Rookie cornerback Akayleb Evans also entered the concussion protocol on Sunday and with his fellow rookie Andrew Booth Jr. still missing time with his quad injury, adding another defensive back makes the most sense.

Jackson was a sixth-round pick in 2022 by the Tennessee Titans out of the University of Tennessee. He is a slot/safety hybrid that has some athletic upside. Shaun Calderon of Titans Wire gave a good synopsis of Jackson on draft day.

He will provide needed depth as the Vikings get the secondary back to full strength.
