Raiders re-sign RB Ameer Abdullah, G Netane Muti
The Las Vegas Raiders have re-signed running back Ameer Abdullah and guard Netane MutiMARCH 10, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Returns to Vegas on one-year deal The Raiders re-signed Abdullah to a one-year contract Thursday, KPRC 2 Houston's Aaron Wilson reports.
Impact Abdullah appeared in all 17 games for the Raiders last season as a lightly-used change-of-pace back and pass-catching specialist behind Josh Jacobs. He averaged just 10.3 offensive snaps per game and rushed four times for 20 yards, adding 25 catches for 211 yards and one touchdown. Abdullah will try and fill the same role again in 2023.

Catches 25 passes in 2022 season Abdullah ended his 2022 campaign with just four total carries for 20 yards in 17 games, though he added 25 receptions for 211 yards and a touchdown on 32 targets.
Impact Abdullah never carved out more than a pass-down role while starter Josh Jacobs retained workhorse status out of the Raiders' backfield all season, but both players now head into unrestricted free agency in 2023. Abdullah also handled a fair share of special-teams reps this season, returning 26 kickoffs for 543 yards.

Single-digit offensive snap count Abdullah did not record an offensive touch in nine snaps during Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to the 49ers.
Impact Abdullah failed to draw a target in the passing game for the first time since Week 5, and it was fellow reserve running back Brandon Bolden that filled in for starter Josh Jacobs on the ground when the latter briefly exited with a minor hip injury. Abdullah figures to remain involved sparingly on passing downs, but barring any setbacks, Jacobs is slated to retain his workhorse role against the Chiefs in Week 18.

Catches two passes in loss Abdullah caught both of his targets for 27 yards in Saturday's 13-10 loss to the Steelers.
Impact Abdullah failed to see a single rush in the contest while Josh Jacobs handled 16 total touches. The 29-year-old played just 10 of the Raiders' 53 offensive snaps in the contest as Jacobs continues to operate as a workhorse back. Barring an injury, Abdullah should remain off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 17 matchup with the 49ers.

Racks up 111 kickoff return yards Abdullah caught both of his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Patriots. He also returned five kickoffs for 111 yards.
Impact Abdullah's offensive role remained limited to passing situations as workhorse Josh Jacobs handled 24 touches for 110 total yards Sunday. Abdullah has seen four targets over the Raiders' last two games ahead of a Week 16 tilt in Pittsburgh.

Targeted twice in loss Abdullah caught both of his targets for 17 yards in Thursday's 17-16 loss to the Rams.
Impact Abdullah played less than 10 offensive snaps for the first time since Week 7, as the Raiders led for much of the contest until the pivotal final moments. Starter Josh Jacobs (finger) once again enjoyed a workhorse role with 29 touches for 114 yards and a touchdown, continuing to dominate the lion's share of opportunities out of the Raiders' backfield. Nonetheless, Abdullah figures to factor in on passing downs against the Patriots in Week 15.

Ready for TNF Abdullah (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Rams, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.
Impact Josh Jacobs (calf) is listed as questionable, just as he was a few days ago before running for 144 yards against the Chargers. Abdullah will continue seeing most of his playing time in passing situations, with rookie Zamir White more likely to serve as the lead runner if Jacobs ends up missing this one.

Logs limited estimate The Raiders listed Abdullah (hamstring) as limited on Tuesday's practice estimate, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Impact Abdullah's limted estimate was his second straight in as many days, as the Raiders prep for a matchup with the Rams on Thursday. His status will be worth monitoring following the release of Wednesday's injury report. The veteran running back recorded one carry for four yards and failed to haul in his only target during Sunday's 27-20 victory over the Chargers.

Darren Waller, Hunter Renfrow could soon be back for Raiders
Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller and wide receiver Hunter Renfrow are eligible to come off injured reserve this weekDECEMBER 6, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Dealing with injury Abdullah (hamstring) was limited on Monday's estimated practice report, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Impact Abdullah played his typical workload in Sunday's game with the Chargers. With the Raiders playing Thursday against the Rams, any appearance on the injury report early in the week takes on more meaning. However, his limitation was just an estimate and his status in the days ahead will be worth monitoring.

One touch Sunday Abdullah took one carry for four yards and failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Chargers.
Impact Abdullah failed to catch a single pass for the first time since Week 5, logging only 12 offensive snaps behind starter Josh Jacobs. Abdullah's pass-down role could diminish if the Raiders manage to build an early lead against the 3-9 Rams on Thursday.

Impact Abdullah found the end zone for the first time this season in Seattle, where he racked up 55 yards on six touches despite playing only 14 offensive snaps behind a monster performance from Josh Jacobs. The latter figures to remain the workhorse out of the Raiders' backfield Week 13 against the Chargers, but Abdullah has now caught at least three passes in three straight games.

Held to five yards on three catches Abdullah caught three of four targets for five yards in Sunday's 22-16 overtime win over the Broncos. He also returned three kickoffs for 69 yards.
Impact Abdullah has caught at least three passes in three of the Raiders' past four contests, but only one of his receptions went for positive yardage Sunday. Starter Josh Jacobs was Las Vegas' only running back to record a carry, though Abdullah figures to continue providing relief on pass downs when the Raiders visit Seattle in Week 12.

Returns to practice Thursday Abdullah was a full participant in practice Thursday, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
Impact Abdullah sat out practice due to an illness Wednesday, but he was back on the field Thursday. His ability to practice without limitations suggests that the veteran ball carrier should be good to go for Sunday's clash against Denver. Though he has yet to log a carry this season, Abdullah has seen at least 14 snaps each of the past three weeks and has caught nine passes for 69 yards over that span.
