Kene Nwangwu Still Not Practicing
1 year agoMinnesota Vikings running back Kene Nwangwu (undisclosed) remained out for the team's training camp practice on Thursday. The Athletic's Alec Lewis also noted that Ty Chandler looked solid in pass protection on Thursday. Nwangwu has been out for most of camp with an undisclosed injury, which isn't helping in his cause to win a backup job behind Alexander Mattison over Chandler. Unless the 25-year-old returns to the field soon and starts impressing, it's looking like Chandler will be the favorite for primary backup duties to begin the 2023 regular season. A fourth-round selection in 2021 out of Iowa State, Nwangwu has seen just 22 carries for 75 yards and no touchdowns in 28 games (zero starts) in his first two NFL campaigns in Minnesota.
