AMEER ABDULLAH NEWS

Plans just four snaps on offense Abdullah did not have a carry and failed to bring in a catch on his only target in Sunday's loss at Kansas City.

Impact Abdullah played just four snaps on offense as Indy used Jonathan Taylor on 46 of the offense's 51 snaps despite giving him just 16 rushing attempts. Abdullah looks ahead of Tyler Goodson and DJ Giddens in the backup role, though that order may change if Taylor is injured.

One grab in win Abdullah caught his lone target for eight yards in Sunday's 31-25 win over the Falcons.

Impact Abdullah failed to record a single carry Sunday, as the veteran running back played just five of the Colts' 77 offensive snaps against the Falcons. The 32-year-old was was not needed much in the game as starter Jonathan Taylor ran all over the Falcons on his way to 244 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. With Taylor dominating the backfield for the Colts, Abdullah should not be trusted for fantasy purposes. He'll continue to operate as a depth option when Indianapolis comes out of their Week 11 bye to face off against the Chiefs in Week 12.

Minimal role in loss Abdullah had one carry for three yards and one reception for two yards on his only target in Sunday's loss at Pittsburgh.

Impact Abdullah played five snaps on offense while Tyler Goodson played a season-high 10 snaps with the Colts trailing most of the game (as he's usually seen as the better receiver). However, the Colts didn't turn to a pass-catching running back as they have in the past as Jonathan Taylor stayed in the game and played on 62 of the offense's 79 snaps. As long as Taylor is healthy, it looks the other running backs will have very minor roles even if the Colts are forced throw the ball.

Three touches in blowout win Abdullah had two carries for five yards and one reception for three yards on his lone target in Sunday's 38-14 win over Tennessee.

Impact Tyler Goodson returned after missing three games due to a groin injury. Abdullah may be the No. 2 running back even with Goodson healthy as he played on ten snaps compared to four for Goodson. Both had two carries. Meanwhile, DJ Giddens was a healthy inactive. However, none of the backups are getting enough work for viable fantasy value as Jonathan Taylor gets almost every touch even in blowouts as Sunday's win was essentially wrapped up before the fourth quarter.

Three touches against Chargers Abdullah rushed twice for 19 yards and caught his lone target for eight yards in Sunday's 38-24 win over the Chargers.

Impact Abdullah played just five of the Colts' 60 offensive snaps Sunday behind starter Jonathan Taylor (52) and ahead of rookie DJ Giddens (3). The veteran running back offers little fantasy value outside of an injury to Taylor, yet it's unclear if Abdullah's role would drastically increase as a 32-year-old in one of the league's most explosive offenses. With that said, Abdullah remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 8 matchup against the Titans.

The team will be able to elevate the 32-year-old just one more time following Sunday's matchup.

Back to practice squad Abdullah reverted to the Colts' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Abdullah churned out six yards and a touchdown on two carries in Sunday's 40-6 victory over the Raiders, while playing five snaps on offense in the contest. Additionally, the running back logged 10 snaps on special teams, recording a tackle in kick coverage. With Tyler Goodson (groin) still banged up, it's possible that Abdullah will be elevated to the active roster again ahead of the team's Week 6 matchup with the Cardinals.

Rushing TD late in blowout win Abdullah had two carries for six yards, including a two-yard rushing touchdown, in Sunday's 40-6 win over Las Vegas.

Impact Abdullah was just called up from the practice squad ahead of the game. He only got carries late in the game amid a blowout win. DJ Giddens remains the clear backup to Jonathan Taylor while Tyler Goodson (groin) is sidelined. Abdullah will likely have most of his usage on special teams if he's active on game days.

Up from practice squad for Week 5 The Colts have elevated Abdullah from their practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Impact With fellow RB Tyler Goodson (groin) having been ruled out for the contest, Abdullah will provide depth and experience Sunday to an Indianapolis backfield that's led by Jonathan Taylor and also includes DJ Giddens. As long as Taylor remains healthy, however, there won't be much volume for his backups.

Gets opportunity with Indy The Colts signed Abdullah to the practice squad Monday.

Impact Abdullah reached an injury settlement with the 49ers in mid-August after reverting to the team's IR due to a rib injury. He appears to have fully recovered from the injury and will head to Indianapolis, where he'll be available for an elevation to the active roster should the Colts require backfield depth on game day. Abdullah appeared in 16 regular-season games for the Raiders in 2024 and posted 66 carries for 311 yards and two touchdowns while adding 40 catches (on 47 targets) for 261 yards and three scores. Khalil Herbert was cut from the Colts' practice squad in a corresponding move.
