Salvon Ahmed

CHI Running Back #36

Bears signed RB Salvon Ahmed to their practice squad.

Ahmed was one of the final cuts of camp, but the 27-year-old will provide an extra body for the Bears and could be active on gamedays depending on the health of the tailbacks ahead of the other Chicago options.
Salvon Ahmed

CHI Running Back #36

Bears signed RB Salvon Ahmed.

Ahmed suffered a gruesome ankle injury on a hip-drop tackle in training camp prior to the start of last season. He missed all of 2025 and has not seen an NFL field since 2023. Starting his career with the Dolphins, Ahmed hopped around the Broncos and Colts rosters the last two seasons and will now look to make the Bears roster coming off a major ankle injury.
Salvon Ahmed

IND Running Back #36

The Athletic’s James Boyd reports, Colts RB Salvon Ahmed “sustained a season-ending ankle injury after being hip-drop tackled in practice.”

It’s a brutal development for the 26-year-old running back. Ahmed is scheduled to enter free agency next offseason. Hopefully, his rehab goes well and the Colts extend his contract. The team correspondingly signed undrafted free agent rookie RB Nate Noel.
Salvon Ahmed

IND Running Back #36

Colts RB Salvon Ahmed (leg/ankle) was carted off the field during Sunday’s practice.

The now-banned hip-drop tackle was the culprit here. Colts safety Trey Washington reportedly deployed the method on a play that resulted in Ahmed screaming and remaining down for several minutes after the play. The veteran running back was given an air cast before being carted off the field on a stretcher, but it sounds like he’ll be at risk of missing most, if not all, of the season once we learn the details of his injury. Head coach Shane Steichen said after practice that it was a mistake by Washington, a rookie out of Mississippi who is trying to make the team as a UDFA, but it’s a stark reminder of why the league pushed to and ultimately banned the tackle after the 2023 season. Ahmed joined the Colts last October and was battling for a spot on the 53-man roster in camp. Ahmed was reportedly taken to the hospital for X-rays. We’ll be sure to provide any updates as they are announced.
Trey Sermon

IND Running Back #27

Colts RB Trey Sermon has a knee injury.

Sermon banged up the knee in Week 6’s win over the Titans. With Jonathan Taylor (ankle) likely sidelined for another week, Tyler Goodson could be the team’s default lead back this week against the Dolphins. Goodson in Week 6 had 51 yards on eight rushes and functioned as the team’s primary pass-catching back. The Colts signed RB Salvon Ahmed as backfield depth in case Sermon is out against Miami.
Salvon Ahmed

DEN Running Back #26

Broncos signed RB Salvon Ahmed, formerly of the Dolphins, to their practice squad.

The Broncos added Ahmed after Tyler Badie went down in Sunday’s win over the Jets. Playing four seasons with the Dolphins, Ahmed has 163 carries for 593 yards and five touchdowns, adding 40 catches for 274 yards and a score. He will be depth for the Broncos, who have not found much consistent production from their running back room this season.
Salvon Ahmed

FA Running Back #26

Dolphins released RB Salvon Ahmed.

Ahmed caught on with the Dolphins as an undrafted rookie during the 2020 season. The former Washington Husky rushed 75 times for 319 yards and three touchdowns in his rookie season, which included a 23-122-1 performance in Week 15 against the Patriots. Since then, Ahmed has fought to stick around on Miami’s roster. Over the last two seasons, he’s handled 88 carries, taking them for 274 yards and two scores while contributing primarily on special teams. At 25 years old, Ahmed should have no trouble catching on with another team, even if it’s as a camp body over the next few weeks. In addition to Ahmed, the Dolphins also placed wide receiver Willie Snead on injured reserve with an undisclosed injury.
Isaiah Wynn

MIA Tackle #77

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that the Dolphins have placed LG Isaiah Wynn on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list.

Wynn landed on injured reserve after suffering a Week 7 quadriceps strain and he has evidently yet to fully recover. The Dolphins are smartly playing things cautiously with their shallow offensive line depth. EDGE Cameron Goode was also moved to the PUP list while running back Salvon Ahmed was sent to the active/non-football injury (NFI) list. Players who remain on the active/PUP list come Week 1 must remain sidelined for at least four games.
Salvon Ahmed

MIA Running Back #26

KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson reports the Dolphins have agreed to terms with RB Salvon Ahmed on a one-year deal.

Ahmed, who’s been with the Dolphins since 2020, will return for another season as backfield depth behind Raheem Mostert and De’Von Achane. Ahmed in 2023 had 22 carries for 61 yards and a touchdown in eight games before sustaining a season-ending foot injury in late November.
Salvon Ahmed

MIA Running Back #26

NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe reports the Colts are placing Salvon Ahmed on injured reserve.

Ahmed suffered a foot injury in Week 11 after filling in for De’Von Achane who also left with an injury. The injury dealt to Ahmed was serious enough that the Dolphins chose to put him on IR and they’ll use that spot to bring Robbie Chosen back to the active roster.

Cowboys ruled out KaVontae Turpin (ribs) for Week 7 against the Eagles.

Turpin’s absence will be felt most on special teams, with the team now forced to find a replacement on punt and kick returns. Otherwise, there is almost zero fantasy impact as the team’s WR4.

Falcons activated A.J. Terrell (groin) from injured reserve.

The Falcons have been attackable on the perimeter while playing most of the season without Terrell. Fellow cornerback C.J. Henderson is listed questionable for Week 7, but the reintegration of Terrell provides a much more difficult matchup for the injury-riddled 49ers.

Broncos activated Jonah Coleman (ankle) from injured reserve.

Coleman missed the minimum four games as he tended to an ankle injury suffered in Week 2. He led the team in snaps in that contest and could return to the primary rushing role considering the inefficient play of J.K. Dobbins in his absence, making him worthy of a start in fantasy circles in a plus matchup against the Cardinals in his first game back.

Ravens ruled out Lamar Jackson (ankle) for Week 7 against the Bengals.

Tyler Huntley will draw the start under center for the third straight game as Jackson continues to rehab a high-ankle sprain. Jackson reportedly took most of the first-team reps at practice Friday and was close to being able to play in Week 7, with the team ultimately siding with caution for their franchise quarterback. The Ravens enter a 15-game stretch in which they play three games starting in Week 8, which could have influenced their decision to hold Jackson out one more game. Expect him back for Week 8 against the Bills. His absence greatly influences the upside of the remaining skill position players considering Declan Doyle has halved his usage of play action and completely eliminated RPO with Huntley under center.

Dallas Goedert (knee) was removed from the injury report Saturday and will play against the Cowboys in Week 7.

Goedert reportedly aggravated his previous knee injury but got back on the practice field for a full session Saturday before being removed from the injury report. He could be stepping into a massive target share with both DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks ruled out. Fantasy managers can start him as an upside TE1 in a great matchup against the Cowboys in Week 7.

Saquon Barkley (hamstring) is questionable for Week 7 against the Cowboys.

Although getting in a full practice Saturday, the Eagles head into Monday’s game against the Cowboys with Barkley listed as questionable following a two-game absence. Fantasy managers have a decision considering the Eagles play in Week 7’s final game on Monday Night Football, with no clear fall back options should he be unable to play. It would seem prudent to make alternate plans at the position.

Eagles ruled out DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) for Week 7 against the Cowboys.

The Eagles will be without their top two receivers but got good news Saturday with the removal of Dallas Goedert from the injury report. Saquon Barkley is listed as questionable and appears to be a true game-time decision. Considering the low involvement of the backfield in the pass game this season, Goedert stands to benefit the most from the absences at wide receiver. He can be started as an upside TE1 in a solid on-paper matchup against the Cowboys.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Vikings plan to activate Jordan Mason (thumb) from injured reserve.

Mason came into the season as the presumed lead back in a timeshare with Aaron Jones, the latter of whom has performed as a true workhorse in Mason’s absence. Although it could take a week or two for Mason to fully regain the lead back role, his presence significantly mutes the potential of Jones. Expect a near-even split when the Vikings take on the Colts in Week 7.

Browns activated RB Dylan Sampson (knee) from injured reserve.

Sampson was limited in practice throughout the week and listed as questionable for Week 7 against the Titans. Now that he’s officially been activated from injured reserve, he’s likely to be Cleveland’s change-of-pace back behind Quinshon Judkins this week. Sampson is worth stashing on fantasy benches, but is truly just a desperation FLEX play coming off a knee injury that’s sidelined him since Week 1.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that several teams believe the Jaguars could trade WR Brian Thomas Jr.

Appearing on ESPN Saturday morning, Fowler, citing Thomas’ zero catches over the last two weeks, said something has to give in this situation. According to several teams the NFL Insider talked to, Thomas could be traded over the next few weeks. Fowler listed the Chiefs and Steelers as potentially interested teams and was emphatic that there will be suitors for Thomas. If you have Thomas in fantasy, it’s hard to imagine his value getting worse with a change of scenery. The Jaguars would appear content to roll with Parker Washington, Jakobi Meyers and Travis Hunter as their top receivers in the event of a Thomas trade.
