www.nbcsports.comHere are the latest updates I can share based on recent coverage:
- Ameer Abdullah has been in the NFL news cycle with his status as a veteran running back continuing to draw attention, including reporting on his 2025 season with the Indianapolis Colts and subsequent signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2026 to add depth and return ability to their backfield. This reflects his ongoing role as a depth/rhythm back and kick return option rather than a featured starter.[1][3][4]
- In the 2025 season, Abdullah appeared in multiple Colts games, contributing as a situational runner and primary kick returner, with 13 rushing attempts for 59 yards and a touchdown, plus 14 receptions for 75 yards, and more than 500 kickoff return yards; he also spent time on the practice squad and was elevated for several games when roster needs arose. This highlights his value as a special-teams contributor and veteran presence.[3][4]
- As of May 2026, reports indicate he joined the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he will compete for a similar role— veteran depth behind the main backs and a candidate for kick returns—describing a path to carve out spot through special-teams impact and occasional offensive snaps.[1]
