Kene Nwangwu Misses Preseason Opener Due To Injury
1 year agoMinnesota Vikings running back Kene Nwangwu did not play in the team's preseason opener on Thursday night against the Seattle Seahawks due to an undisclosed injury. With starter Alexander Mattison also being held out, Ty Chandler got more run and made the most of the opportunity. Chandler saw 11 carries and gained 41 yards while also catching all four of his targets for 29 yards. Neither Nwangwu nor Chandler had really been standing out in training camp in the competition for the backup role in Minnesota's backfield, but Chandler probably has the lead after his preseason performance on Thursday night. There's still time for the 25-year-old Nwangwu to state his case before the regular season, though.
