Raiders' Ameer Abdullah: Won't play Sunday
Ameer 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 Las Vegas 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
Coach Antonio Pierce said Friday that Ameer 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 Las Vegas Raiders backfield Sunday.

Raiders' Ameer Abdullah: Misses practice again
Ameer 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 Las Vegas Raiders' Week 18 carries, with Dylan Laube a candidate to mix in.

Raiders' Ameer Abdullah: Doesn't practice Wednesday
Ameer 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 Las Vegas 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
Ameer 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 Las Vegas 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.

Raiders' Ameer Abdullah: Tops 100 rushing yards Sunday
Ameer Abdullah carried the ball 20 times for 115 yards and caught three of four targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 25-10 win over the Saints,It's the first time in his career that the 31-year-old running back has produced triple-digit rushing yards in a game. Abdullah saw 23 touches to Alexander Mattison's 11, but it's not clear if coach Antonio Pierce was simply riding the hot hand, or if Abdullah has moved to the top of the depth chart for the Las Vegas Raiders. Whoever sees the bulk of the backfield work in Week 18 will face a much stingier Chargers defense.

Raiders' Ameer Abdullah: Totals 12 touches
Ameer Abdullah rushed the ball seven times for 38 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-14 win over the Jaguars. He added five receptions on six targets for 47 yards.Abdullah benefitted from the absence of Sincere McCormick (ankle) but still saw four fewer touches than Alexander Mattison. As would be expected, the majority of Abdullah's production came as a receiver, and he finished second on the team in both receptions and yards. However, his biggest fantasy impact came on a seven-yard rushing score early in the fourth quarter. While his involvement in the offense is likely to lean heavily toward his work as a receiver, Abdullah should maintain a complementary role at minimum in Week 17 against the Saints.

Raiders' Ameer Abdullah: Plays large receiving role Monday
Ameer Abdullah took three carries for eight yards while hauling in all seven of his targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 15-9 loss to Atlanta.Starter Sincere McCormick (ankle) was injured in the second quarter before being ruled out at halftime, opening extra playing time for the Las Vegas Raiders' backup RBs. Abdullah took full advantage of the opportunity and cashed in a late touchdown reception while Alexander Mattison (7-24-0) handled the early-down work in the second half. Despite the disparity in production Monday, Mattison figures to handle starting duties should McCormick be ruled out for a Week 16 tilt against the Jaguars. Abdullah would likely get worked in as a receiving option like what happened versus the Falcons in the aforementioned scenario.

Raiders' Ameer Abdullah: Two touches in Sunday's loss
Ameer Abdullah caught one of two targets for a loss of three yards and rushed once for one yard in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Buccaneers. He also returned two punts for 30 yards and two kickoffs for 59 yards.Abdullah earned just two touches despite playing 39 percent of the Las Vegas Raiders' offensive snaps, ceding much of the backfield work to Sincere McCormick as the undrafted 24-year-old took 15 carries for 78 yards to go along with a pair of receptions for another 11 yards. Abdullah figures to take a backseat to McCormick again in Week 15 when Las Vegas hosts the Falcons on Monday Night Football. Additionally, Alexander Mattison (ankle) could return to the backfield rotation as well.

Raiders' Ameer Abdullah: Tallies 151 all-purpose yards
Ameer Abdullah rushed 10 times for 39 yards, secured both targets for 14 yards, returned one kickoff for 68 yards and ran back two punts for 30 yards in the Las Vegas Raiders' 19-17 loss to the Chiefs on Friday.The veteran back was busy all afternoon with both Zamir White (quadriceps) and Alexander Mattison (ankle) inactive, and he supplemented his work on offense with a productive effort on special teams. Abdullah's 68-yard kickoff return late in the third quarter set the Raiders up on the Chiefs' 26-yard line for a drive that culminated in a Brock Bowers touchdown grab two plays later. Abdullah finished with two fewer carries and 25 less rushing yards than backfield mate Sincere McCormick, but he offered serviceable fantasy production overall. However, Abdullah could be back to his customary third-down role in short order, considering both White and Mattison seemingly have a good chance of being available for a Week 14 road matchup against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Dec. 8.
