Chandler has primarily been a special teamer throughout his career, but he ended up starting seven games and playing 539 snaps on defense for the Panthers last year. Carolina added S Xavier Woods on Monday, making it unlikely Chandler is returning to a starting job this season, but he could get some rotational snaps along with his special teams role.

The team had to make room to activate Sam Beal (hamstring) off of IR, and Chandler was the roster casualty. The 23-year-old notched five tackles (two solo) over nine games in mostly a special-teams role for the Giants.
