After suffering an ankle injury against the Las Vegas Raiders in week 14, Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison is on track to play on Sunday afternoon against the Detroit Lions. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Mattison is expected to play.
What was also mentioned by Pelissero is that Mattison isn’t 100% and “expect the Vikings to ride Ty Chandler.”
After Chandler’s performance against the Cincinnati Bengals, it’s no surprise that the Vikings will be giving him a lot of touches. He has shown himself to be a really explosive back and has grown a lot this season with his vision and consistency.
The Vikings and Lions kick off at noon CST.
