The Colts signed Ahmed to a reserve/future contract Monday. Ahmed didn't suit up for regular-season action with Indianapolis in 2024, but he spent time on the team's practice squad after being cut by Denver in October. The veteran running back will spend the offseason competing to secure a depth spot in a backfield led by Jonathan Taylor.
The Colts have signed Ahmed to theirpractice squad. Ahmed, who has yet to see regular-season action in 2024, has 38 NFL regular-season contests under his belt, all with Miami between 2020 and 2023. He'll provide the Colts' backfield -- which currently includes Jonathan Taylor (ankle), Trey Sermon (knee), Tyler Goodson and Evan Hull -- with added depth ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Ahmed was cut from the Broncos' practice squad Tuesday, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports. Ahmed's time in Denver was short, as he signed with its practice squad last Tuesday. He'll now have to work to find a new opportunity.
Ahmed was signed to the Broncos' practice squad Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Ahmed was released by the Dolphins with an injury waiver in late August, but he appears to have recovered from the undisclosed injury. With Tyler Badie (back) sidelined for at least the near future, it's possible that Ahmed could earn an elevation to the active roster in the coming weeks.
Miami released Ahmed (undisclosed) with an injury waiver Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. The detail of the injury waiver is significant, as it means Ahmed is technically eligible to return at some point during the 2024 season if he can work through his health issues. For now, his leaving could open up practice reps for Anthony McFarland.
The Dolphins released Ahmed on Monday, per the team's official site. Ahmed has played all 38 games of his career with Miami since going undrafted out of Washington back in 2020, so it's somewhat surprising to see him now be cut by the team. In corresponding moves, the Dolphins added running backs Anthony McFarland and Zander Horvath to the backfield Monday.
The Dolphins activated Ahmed (foot) off the active/non-football injury list Tuesday. Ahmed is seemingly healthy once again after spending less than a week on the NFI list. The 25-year-old will now spend the summer competing with Jeff Wilson and Chris Brooks for a roster spot.
The Dolphins placed Ahmed (foot) on the active/non-football injury list Thursday. Ahmed, who re-signed with Miami on a one-year contract early this offseason, will begin training camp on the NFI list. Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports that Ahmed's placement on the NFI list is due to a minor medical issue, one unrelated to the season-ending foot injury he sustained last November. He can be activated at any time during training camp or the preseason, once cleared to practice.
Ahmed (foot) is re-signing with Miami on a one-year contract, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. The 25-year-old running back has played in 38 games over four season since catching on with the Dolphins as an undrafted free agent, taking 163 carries for 593 yards (3.6 YPC) and five touchdowns and adding 40 catches for 274 yards and another TD on 57 targets. Ahmed mostly saw playing time in obvious passing situations in 2023 before a foot injury ended his season in November. There hasn't been any update on his recovery or whether he needed surgery. In any case, Ahmed will compete for a depth role this summer.
