  Raiders | Las Vegas' Week 11 injury report    Fri Nov 18, 04:49 PM

Las Vegas Raiders WR Davante Adams (abdomen), LB Luke Masterson (ribs) and OT Kolton Miller (shoulder, abdomen) were limited in practice all week and are listed as questionable for Week 11 against the Denver Broncos. LB Denzel Perryman (hip, ribs) was upgraded to a full practice Friday, Nov. 18, and is also listed as questionable. RB Ameer Abdullah (illness), QB Derek Carr (back), OL Jermaine Eluemunor (elbow) and CB Sam Webb (knee) practiced in full Friday and have been removed from the injury report. RB Brandon Bolden (personal) and CB Rock Ya-Sin (personal) were not given a practice designation Friday but are expected to play.

Footballguys view: Adams ceiling is high enough that you need to have him in, but check to see who you have from the late/night games on your bench so you'll know who to put in if Adams is a surprise scratch.

  Raiders | Ameer Abdullah tabbed for big role?    Sun Aug 14, 09:37 PM

Las Vegas Raiders RB Ameer Abdullah was among the players rested during a 26-20 preseason win over the Minnesota Vikings Sunday, Aug. 14.

Footballguys view: Albert Breer from Sports Illustrated said the team loves Abdullah, so it's not a stretch to see him in the James White role in Josh McDaniels' backfield. Kenyan Drake is a possible release/trade candidate, and this is not good news for Josh Jacobs, whose ADP has been falling all summer.

  Raiders | Ameer Abdullah earning 'James White' role in Vegas?    Fri Aug 12, 12:02 PM

Las Vegas Raiders RB Ameer Abdullah is carving out a 'James White' role in Josh McDaniel's offense, according to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated. 'Camp revelation: Journeyman Ameer Abdullah. Raiders have depth at RB. But Abdullah's carving out a real role--the 'James White' spot in McD's O.'

Footballguys view: Kenyan Drake was expected to be the passing down back in the committee, so he is probably the back most hurt by this news. The Raiders would carry 8 million in dead cap if they release Drake, so a trade is more likely if the team deems Drake unnecessary in light of Abdullah's emergence. A team would have to take on Drake's 2.5 million dollar salary if they choose to deal for him.

  Raiders | Vegas adds Ameer Abdullah    Fri Mar 18, 04:48 PM

Free-agent RB Ameer Abdullah (Panthers) signed with the Las Vegas Raiders Friday, March 18. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Abdullah further strengthens the Raiders backfield. He's a change-of-pace back, and Abdullah can contribute on special teams. He will work into the mix behind starter Josh Jacobs and backups Kenyan Drake and Branden Bolden.

  Vikings | Ameer Abdullah back to Vikings    Wed Mar 24, 12:29 PM

Free-agent RB Ameer Abdullah (Vikings) agreed to an undisclosed deal Wednesday, March 24, to return to the Minnesota Vikings.

Footballguys view: The Vikings lost Mike Boone to the Broncos in free agency, so they needed to secure a no.3 running back. Abdullah is quick and gets to top speed in a hurry. He's not the receiving threat that Boone was and is not a lock for the 53-man roster. Don't be surprised if the Vikings add a running back late in the draft to compete behind Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison.

Minnesota Vikings RB Ameer Abdullah rushed five times for 21 yards and caught a 15-yard touchdown in a 27-23 preseason loss to the Buffalo Bills Thursday, Aug. 29.

Footballguys view: The 2015 second-round pick is probably going to the street in favor of Mike Boone as the #3 back in Minnesota. He could be on tryout lists and get back on a roster at some point this year, but it's clear that he's never going to fulfill expectations in the NFL.

  Vikings | Ameer Abdullah slated for return duty    Wed Aug 7, 01:33 AM

Minnesota Vikings RB Ameer Abdullah is listed as the starter at both kick and punt returner on the first unofficial depth chart of the preseason.

Footballguys view: Abdullah has failed to impress as a running back during his pro career. He's got a shot with the Vikings but will need to provide value as a return man if he wants to make the team.

  Vikings | Ameer Abdullah re-signs    Mon Mar 18, 04:04 PM

Free-agent RB Ameer Abdullah (Vikings) re-signed an undisclosed deal with the Minnesota Vikings Monday, March 18.

Footballguys view: The Vikings lost Latavius Murray (Saints) in free agency, so they needed depth at the position behind starter Dalvin Cook. Abdullah has failed to impress as a pro. The second-round pick (2015) out of Nebraska has plenty of speed but doesn't work well in cramped space. He played in seven games in 2018 for the Vikings, contributing mostly as a kickoff returner. That should be his same role in 2019 with a chance to get some touches on offense here and there.

  Vikings | Minnesota claims Ameer Abdullah    Wed Nov 7, 04:22 PM

The Minnesota Vikings claimed RB Ameer Abdullah off waivers from the Detroit Lions Wednesday, Nov. 7.

Footballguys view: The Vikings add Abdullah and let go of Roc Thomas in a corresponding move. Abdullah failed to impress with the Lions after they took him in the second round of the 2015 NFL draft. He'll serve as a change-of-pace back and veteran depth behind Dalvin Cook and Latavius Murray.

Free-agent WR Bruce Ellington (Texans) was signed to an undisclosed deal by the Detroit Lions Tuesday, Nov. 6. RB Ameer Abdullah was waived in a corresponding move.

Footballguys view: The Lions are looking for help at the no3 wide receiver position. They traded away Golden Tate (Eagles) last week and didn't get much production from T.J. Jones on Sunday. We'll see if Ellington, coming off a career high 29 catches for the Texans in 2017, can work his way into the mix behind starters Marvin Jones Jr. and Kenny Golladay.
