Jaguars Sign Running Back Ameer Abdullah for Backfield Depth
The Jacksonville Jaguars signed free-agent running back Ameer Abdullah to an undisclosed deal on Monday, according to the team. In a corresponding move, the team waived running back Ja'Quinden Jackson. Adbullah, 32, will give the Jaguars additional depth in the backfield going into training camp this year after they lost Travis Etienne Jr. to free agency. He's unlikely to have a role for the Jaguars if he makes the roster out of training camp, as the Jags also have Bhayshul Tuten, Chris Rodriguez Jr., and LeQuint Allen Jr. at the position, as well as DeeJay Dallas. Abdullah played in 13 games for the Indianapolis Colts in 2025 but saw just 14 carries for 60 yards and one touchdown while catching 16 of his 17 targets in the passing game for 99 yards. If anything, Abdullah will most likely be an option on special teams for the Jaguars if he's still with the team when the regular season starts in early September.
