Ty Chandler stands out as Saints Player of the Day 32

With 32 days until the New Orleans Saints' 2026 season opener against the Detroit Lions on September 13, Ty Chandler has been named the Player of the Day. Chandler, a 28-year-old running back, was added early in free agency and is expected to compete for a roster spot despite a crowded backfield. His versatility includes kickoff return skills, which could bolster his chances. Chandler performed well in college, at North Carolina, leading the team in rushing during his final season while securing 2nd Team All-ACC honors. After being drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in 2022, he has had a mixed NFL career but is looking to make an impact with the Saints this preseason as he prepares for a potential spot as a kick returner.
