  01/03/2025 • By RotoWire

  Abdullah (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's season finale against the Chargers. Per Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com, head coach Antonio Pierce initially indicated that Abdullah would be listed as doubtful for the contest. However, it has been confirmed that the running back, who is coming off a strong effort Week 17, will sit out the Raiders' final game of the 2024 season. In Abdullah's absence, Alexander Mattison is in line to lead the team's Week 18 backfield, with Chris Collier also mixing in, per Vic Tafur of The Athletic, and Dylan Laube potentially seeing some work in passing situations, according to Tafur.

• Raiders' Ameer Abdullah: Doubtful for Week 18

  01/03/2025 • By RotoWire

  Coach Antonio Pierce said Friday that Abdullah (foot) will be listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports. In the wake of a standout 20-carry, 115-yard effort this past Sunday at New Orleans that also included three catches (on four targets) for 32 yards, Abdullah has been tending to a foot injury that didn't allow him to practice this week. He thus appears in line to miss his first game of the campaign, which would allow the combination of Alexander Mattison, Chris Collier and perhaps even Dylan Laube to man the Raiders backfield Sunday.

• Raiders' Ameer Abdullah: Misses practice again

  Abdullah (foot) remained sidelined at practice Thursday. Abdullah is coming off a career-high 115-yard rushing effort in Week 17, but back-to-back missed practices cloud his status for Sunday's season finale against the Chargers. If Abdullah is limited or out this weekend, Alexander Mattison and Chris Collier likely would be next up for the Raiders' Week 18 carries, with Dylan Laube a candidate to mix in.

• Raiders' Ameer Abdullah: Doesn't practice Wednesday

  Abdullah (foot) didn't practice Wednesday. Abdullah logged 20 carries for a career-high 115 yards and caught three of his four targets for 32 yards in this past Sunday's 25-10 win over the Saints. However, the running back suffered a foot injury late in the contest, and his absence from practice to kick off Week 18 prep means that his status will need to be monitored ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers. If Abdullah ends up missing the season finale, the Raiders would likely turn to Alexander Mattison and Chris Collier to handle most of the snaps out of the backfield.

• Raiders' Ameer Abdullah: Injures foot late in Week 17

  Abdullah emerged from Sunday's 25-10 win over the Saints with a foot injury, Luke Straub of USA Today reports. Abdullah handled a season-high 23 touches and accounted for 147 yards, but he didn't take a handoff or draw a target after the first play of the fourth quarter. Though the Raiders listed Abdullah as questionable to return due to the foot injury at one point later in the quarter, he ultimately never checked back in while Chris Collier served as the primary back on Las Vegas' last drive. Given how well he fared against the Saints, the 31-year-old Abdullah would likely be in store for the lead RB role if he's able to play through the foot issue.
