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.

Greg Dortch

BUF Wide Receiver #8

Bills signed WR Greg Dortch to their practice squad.

Dortch was unable to make the Lions and was a relatively-surprising cut Sunday. The former Arizona wideout was a productive — albeit flawed — receiving option with the Cardinals, and it’s not hard to imagine him being someone who helps Josh Allen and the passing attack in Buffalo this fall. Fantasy managers should take a wait-and-see approach, but it’s at least someone to monitor.

Blue was waived by the Cowboys and went unclaimed, and the 2025 fifth-round pick will remain in the NFC East. He’ll begin the campaign behind Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley as backups to Saquon Barkley, but some strong performances in practice could give the 22-year-old a chance to receive touches in 2026.

Myles Garrett (knee) did not participate in Monday’s practice.

Garrett continues to not practice while experiencing swelling in his knee. It sounds like this is more maintenance than anything else, as the Rams want the start pass-rusher to be ready to roll and at his best for the opener against the 49ers next week in Australia. Still, it’s something to keep an eye on.

Chargers RB Keaton Mitchell (undisclosed) did not practice Monday.

Mitchell has been out of action for more than a week after experiencing a “minor setback” for an undisclosed injury. This could be a situation where we’re all left in the dark until the team is required to disclose injuries in the week leading up to Week 1, leaving fantasy managers to plan for contingencies. Any missed time from Mitchell would be a measurable boost to the weekly expectations of Omarion Hampton.

Jeremiyah Love

ARI Running Back #4

Cardinals HC Mike LaFleur said RB Jeremiyah Love is “progressing really well toward playing in Week 1.”

Speaking to media Monday, Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur said running back Jeremiyah Love “took another step yesterday and he’ll take another step today,” with the goal of being ready for Week 1, when the Cardinals visit the Chargers to kick off the regular season. The high ankle sprain suffered in the team’s first preseason game has the potential to cost Love regular season games considering the timing, but it sounds as if there is at least a sliver of hope that Love will not miss any regular season time. That said, there is also the possibility that Love is active come Week 1 but not at full strength, something that could realistically influence his workload early in the season. Fantasy managers will want to monitor the situation closely as the regular season approaches.
