Joins Denver's practice squad
Published: 2024-10-01
Ahmed was signed to the Broncos' practice squad Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Ahmed was released by the Dolphins with an injury waiver in late August, but he appears to have recovered from the undisclosed injury. With Tyler Badie (back) sidelined for at least the near future, it's possible that Ahmed could earn an elevation to the active roster in the coming weeks.
Gets injury waiver
Published: 2024-08-19
Miami released Ahmed (undisclosed) with an injury waiver Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
The detail of the injury waiver is significant, as it means Ahmed is technically eligible to return at some point during the 2024 season if he can work through his health issues. For now, his leaving could open up practice reps for Anthony McFarland.
Released by Miami
Published: 2024-08-19
The Dolphins released Ahmed on Monday, per the team's official site.
Ahmed has played all 38 games of his career with Miami since going undrafted out of Washington back in 2020, so it's somewhat surprising to see him now be cut by the team. In corresponding moves, the Dolphins added running backs Anthony McFarland and Zander Horvath to the backfield Monday.
Activated off NFI list
Published: 2024-07-23
The Dolphins activated Ahmed (foot) off the active/non-football injury list Tuesday.
Ahmed is seemingly healthy once again after spending less than a week on the NFI list. The 25-year-old will now spend the summer competing with Jeff Wilson and Chris Brooks for a roster spot.
Moves to NFI list
Published: 2024-07-18
The Dolphins placed Ahmed (foot) on the active/non-football injury list Thursday.
Ahmed. who re-signed with Miami on a one-year contract early this offseason, will begin training camp on the NFI list. Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports that Ahmed's placement on the NFI list is due to a minor medical issue, one unrelated to the season-ending foot injury he sustained last November. He can be activated at any time during training camp or the preseason, once cleared to practice.
Staying with Miami
Published: 2024-03-13
Ahmed (foot) is re-signing with Miami on a one-year contract, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
The 25-year-old running back has played in 38 games over four season since catching on with the Dolphins as an undrafted free agent, taking 163 carries for 593 yards (3.6 YPC) and five touchdowns and adding 40 catches for 274 yards and another TD on 57 targets. Ahmed mostly saw playing time in obvious passing situations in 2023 before a foot injury ended his season in November. There hasn't been any update on his recovery or whether he needed surgery. In any case, Ahmed will compete for a depth role this summer.
Done for season
Published: 2023-11-21
Ahmed (foot) is expected to miss the remainder of the 2023 season, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Ahmed suffered a foot injury this past week and was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, but it now appears the injury is a season-ending one. With De'Von Achane (knee) banged up, Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson could operate as the team's primary options in the backfield Friday versus the Jets.
Goes to IR
Published: 2023-11-21
Miami placed Ahmed (foot) on its injured reserve list Tuesday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
It's not immediately clear when Ahmed sustained the foot injury, but it's apparently severe enough to keep him off the field for at least the Dolphins' next four games. Until he's ready to come back, Jeff Wilson is likely to see more work between the tackles.
