Overview
- The Jaguars announced the Abdullah signing Monday, re-signed guard Sal Wormley, placed rookie lineman Jordan White on the reserve/retired list, and waived running back Ja'Quinden Jackson.
- Team and media reports frame Abdullah as depth with his clearest path on special teams, where he has 4,346 career kickoff-return yards and extensive coverage snaps.
- Jacksonville’s top carries are expected to flow to Bhayshul Tuten and free-agent pickup Chris Rodriguez, with LeQuint Allen in passing spots, leaving Abdullah to compete for a roster spot on returns and third downs.
- Abdullah spent 2025 with the Colts, logging 14 rushes and 16 catches for 159 yards and a touchdown in 13 games, and his move removes a veteran receiving-back option behind Jonathan Taylor in Indianapolis.
- Now entering his 12th season, the 2015 second-round pick has appeared in 154 games with 2,054 rushing yards, 219 receptions for 1,567 yards, and 20 total touchdowns across stints with the Lions, Vikings, Panthers, Raiders, and Colts.
