Chenal's move to injured reserve doesn't come as a surprise since it was previously announced he would undergo season-ending neck surgery. The 2022 third-round pick had racked up 18 tackles (nine solo) across three games before getting hurt and will now shift his focus to getting healthy for the 2027 campaign.
