Vikings claimed RB Ameer Abdullah off waivers from the Lions.It took the 2015 second-rounder roughly 24 hours to resurface after being let go by Detroit on Tuesday. Abdullah has appeared in just three games this year, recording 19 yards on three touches during that span. In Minnesota, the former Nebraska Cornhusker will just be a depth piece behind injury-prone starter Dalvin Cook and goal-line vulture Latavius Murray. Nov 7 - 4:16 PM
Lions waived RB Ameer Abdullah.It's been a long time coming for Abdullah, who surprisingly kept his roster spot behind Kerryon Johnson, LeGarrette Blount and Theo Riddick coming out of training camp. The No. 54 overall pick of the 2015 draft had been active just three times this season, touching the ball three times on offense. Abdullah has had a difficult time staying healthy as a pro and averaged just 3.82 yards per carry on 327 career totes. 2018 is his age-25 season. There is a chance Abdullah gets claimed off waivers.

Is this a sign that Roc Thomas is potentially going on IR?

wondering the same thing, but silly as it seems, I had a hunch on that. I bet Roc goes to IR, as I believe he is banged up.


oops, didn't see SFVIKEFAN comment on Roc Thomas, didn't mean to repeat

I think we are all,thinkingmthe same thing.  Thomas must be more injured than we thought.  And doing this now gives Abdullah a few more days to study the playbook.

Read on another board that Roc Thomas was waived. Was he the one getting his butt chewed in the NO game? or the game before?

Vikings waived RB Roc Thomas.
Thomas made the team as an UDFA this year after a big preseason that saw him total 195 yards and two scores on 24 touches. He had rushed eight times for 30 yards in real games. Thomas was cut in favor of Ameer Abdullah.
