Ahmed (lower body) took six carries for 40 yards and two catches for 31 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 20-13 preseason loss to Chicago.
Ahmed looked healthy after dealing with an unspecified lower-body injury earlier this month. He was the third running back into the game -- behind Malcom Brown and Myles Gaskin, in that order -- and finished as the team leader in total yards and the scorer of Miami's lone TD (from 22 yards out on a wheel route). Further down the depth chart, Patrick Laird and Gerrid Doaks combined for 13 yards, losing ground on Ahmed in the competition for the No. 3 role. That job looks a little more interesting after Brown worked ahead of Gaskin on Saturday, perhaps hinting at a competitive backfield rather than Gaskin being the clear starter.
