New Orleans Saints running back Ty Chandler sustained a knee injury during the preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams on August 24, 2026. Initially thought to be minor, the injury is now considered more serious, raising concerns for the team's running back depth. Chandler's situation is concerning as he had been performing well this preseason, including a notable 86-yard kickoff return. The injury compounds issues for the Saints, who are already without Alvin Kamara due to an MCL sprain. In light of these injuries, the Saints are assessing their options, with Travis Etienne expected to take on a larger role. The team signed Zamir White to bolster their running back group as they prepare for the regular season.
