Ameer Abdullah News
Saturday, September 19, 12:59 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Ameer Abdullah was productive on a limited number of opportunities in his team's blowout Week 1 win over the Cleveland Browns, recording 32 yards from scrimmage on five touches. Abdullah functioned as Jacksonville's RB3 behind Chris Rodriguez Jr. and Bhayshul Tuten against the Browns. However, second-year Jaguars back LeQuint Allen Jr. (hip) played just one snap in Week 1 after missing extended time in training camp due to injury. Allen Jr. functioned as Jacksonville's primary third-down back for much of 2025, and Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said that he will play a much larger role in the team's game plan going forward. Once Allen Jr. is fully reintegrated into the Jacksonville offense, Abdullah will likely slide down to the Jaguars RB4 role and could even be a cut candidate.

Carson Steele News
Wednesday, September 2, 7:19 PM
Free agent running back Carson Steele has been signed to the Philadelphia Eagles' practice squad, according to an announcement from the team. Steele had been with the Eagles throughout training camp and the preseason. He was uninspiring on the ground with just 59 rushing yards on 21 carries (2.8 YPC), but he made up for it as the team's leading receiver. In total, he caught 14 passes for 136 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns. His dominant preseason receiving stat line wasn't quite enough to get him a roster spot, nor did any of the other 31 teams want to sign him to their 53-man roster. However, the Eagles evidently felt like he was worth bringing back as a practice squad player. Other teams can still bring him onto their 53-man roster, but for now, he'll offer depth behind Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby, and Will Shipley without occupying an active roster spot. He remains off the fantasy radar in most leagues.
