Ameer Abdullah, Sean Mannion Added To Active Roster
3 years agoThe Minnesota Vikings added running back Ameer Abdullah and quarterback Sean Mannion to the active roster from the practice squad for Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Before the move, Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison were the only two running backs on Minnesota's roster, so Abdullah will provide some extra depth at the position. The 28-year-old has mostly been a special teams player the last two years with the Vikes, carrying the ball only 31 times for 157 yards and no touchdowns. Mannion will serve as the No. 3 QB behind Kirk Cousins and Kellen Mond for the regular season opener. Both Abdullah and Mannion can be ignored in fantasy, for now.
