Vikings Release Ameer Abdullah
3 years agoThe Minnesota Vikings released running back Ameer Abdullah on Tuesday and signed backup quarterback Sean Mannion to the 53-man roster in a corresponding move. Abdullah was just signed to the active roster last weekend, but he might eventually wind up back on Minnesota's practice squad. The 28-year-old had as many snaps as backup Alexander Mattison in the Week 1 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, but he had just three touches in the game. Abdullah had only eight carries for 42 yards and caught eight passes for 58 yards and two touchdowns in 16 games last year. Minnesota only has Dalvin Cook and Mattison on their active roster at the moment at the running back position.
