Alexander Mattison Dealing With Personal Matter
2 years agoMinnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison did not practice Thursday for personal reasons. There has been no report of Mattison potentially missing Week 1 against the Green Bay Packers. Friday's injury report will determine if the 24-year-old will suit up for the regular season opener. He had 134 carries for a career-high 491 yards and three rushing touchdowns in 16 games (four starts) for Minnesota in 2021. If Mattison practices on Friday, he will serve as the Vikings' top backup running back to star Dalvin Cook. Kene Nwangwu and rookie Ty Chandler would see an expanded role if Mattison is inactive on Sunday.
