Steelers' Chandon Sullivan: Signing with Pittsburgh
Rotowire
Sullivan signed with the Steelers on Tuesday, Chris Adamski of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.
The 26-year-old will head to Pittsburgh after logging 60 tackles (45 solo) in 17 games for the Vikings last year. Although the Steelers already added two cornerbacks in the draft in Joey Porter and Cory Trice, Sullivan will provide solid depth in the slot.

Vikings' Chandon Sullivan: Productive in 2022
Rotowire
Sullivan tallied career highs with 60 tackles (45 solo), seven passes defended and one fumble recovery over 17 games during the 2022 regular season.
Sullivan was one of the few Vikings cornerbacks to remain healthy throughout the entire season. As a result, he played a career-high 907 defensive snaps, which was second behind only Patrick Peterson in the team's cornerbacks corps. Minnesota's defense did finish 30th in yards per attempt and 31st in total passing yards per game allowed this season. Therefore, with Sullivan set to become a free agent for the second time in as many years, it's unclear if he'll be re-signed prior to the 2023 season.

Vikings' Chandon Sullivan: Making tackles in larger role
Rotowire
Sullivan had nine total tackles in Sunday's overtime win at Buffalo.
Sullivan, the starting slot corner, has seen a slight increase in playing time with both Cameron Dantzler on injured reserve and 2022 second-round pick Andrew Booth failing to win a larger role. He struggled in pass coverage, giving up receptions on all six passes targeted his way for 70 yards but had a strong game tackling.

Vikings' Chandon Sullivan: Absent from injury report
Rotowire
Sullivan was not listed on the Vikings' injury report Wednesday.
Sullivan is not dealing with any injury issues following Sunday's win over the Bears, in which he tallied two tackles while playing a season-low 37 defensive snaps. The 26-year-old has now played at least 75 percent of defensive snaps over his first five games with Minnesota. However, Sullivan's playing time could take a hit after rookie cornerback Andrew Booth, who has been sidelined with a quad injury since Week 1, returned to practice in full Wednesday.

Packers' Chandon Sullivan: Set to start outside Sunday
Rotowire
Sullivan is slated to start at outside cornerback with Jaire Alexander (concussion) and Kevin King (quadriceps) sidelined for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Sullivan typically covers the slot, but the Packers will trust the third-year corner on the outside with both of their starters sitting out. He has performed well in the slot this season, allowing 7.2 yards per target and no touchdowns through eight games, and the team believes his skills will translate to the outside in a favorable matchup against rookie quarterback Jake Luton.

Packers' Chandon Sullivan: Returns INT for six
Rotowire
Sullivan recorded a tackle, two pass breakups and a pick-six in Sunday's 42-21 win over the Lions.
Sullivan played 73 percent of defensive snaps in Week 2, and his day was highlighted by jumping a short route and intercepting Matthew Stafford's pass before falling into the end zone. The third-year CB has been impressive for the Packers since making the team in 2019, and he's beaten out 2018 second-round pick Josh Jackson to serve as the No. 3 corner.

Packers' Chandon Sullivan: Makes four solo stops
Rotowire
Sullivan had four solo tackles in Monday's victory over the Lions.
Sullivan played 22 snaps on defense after seeing 38 the week before, and he tacked on four tackles after making two stops and recording his first career interception in Week 6. His playing time in Week 7 will likely depend on whether injured defensive backs Darnell Savage (ankle) and Tony Brown (hamstring) are able to return to action.

Sullivan was signed Monday by the Packers.
