Bears' Salvon Ahmed: Standing out while fellow RB gets hurt
Ahmed was among the Bears' top performers in Saturday's 34-10 preseason win over the Browns, which was highlighted by his 49-yard touchdown catch, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Ahmed finished Saturday's preseason opener with two carries for 17 yards, as well as three catches on as many targets for 55 yards and a touchdown. The 27-year-old running back hasn't played a regular-season snap since the 2023 campaign with the Dolphins, but Ahmed is making a case for a roster spot in Chicago while competing against Roschon Johnson and Brittain Brown. D'Andre Swift sits atop the running back depth chart, but backup Kyle Monangai is set to undergo an MRI after exiting Sunday's practice due to a right knee injury, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Monangai's injury isn't believed to be serious, but any missed time from the second-year pro could benefit Ahmed's push for a roster spot.

Bears' Salvon Ahmed: Signs with Chicago
The Bears signed Ahmed (ankle) on Wednesday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.
While with the Colts last summer, Ahmed suffered a serious ankle injury during training camp when he was brought down with a hip-drop tackle. He missed the entire 2025 season but is now healthy and ready to compete for a job in the Chicago backfield. The 27-year-old has 593 career rushing yards and five touchdowns on 163 carries across 38 regular-season games. He can also play special teams.

Colts' Salvon Ahmed: Officially placed on IL
The Colts placed Ahmed (ankle) on injured reserve Friday.
As expected, Ahmed will miss the entire 2025 season after suffering an ankle injury during this past Sunday's training camp practice, when he was on the receiving end of an illegal hip-drop tackle. Ahmed was competing for a spot on the Colts' 53-man roster after spending the 2024 season on Indianapolis' and Miami's practice squads, but he will now shift his focus towards being healthy for the 2026 campaign. Khalil Herbert, Ulysses Bentley and newest addition Nate Noel will have increased opportunities to compete with Tyler Goodson and DJ Giddens for backup running back duties due to Ahmed's injury.

Colts' Salvon Ahmed: Could miss entire 2025 campaign
Ahmed is in jeopardy of missing the entire 2025 season due to an ankle injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Ahmed had to be taken to a local hospital Sunday after he was taken down by a defender with an illegal hip-drop tackle. Further tests revealed an ankle injury, and it is severe enough that Ahmed could be sidelined for the whole season. His absence gives Khalil Herbert a better chance at making the Colts' 53-man roster at the conclusion of training camp.

Colts' Salvon Ahmed: Hospitalized with leg injury
Ahmed suffered a "severe" lower right leg injury during practice Sunday and was taken to a hospital for X-rays, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Ahmed was hurt when he was taken down on a hip-drop tackle just short of the end zone. The veteran running back had his leg placed in an air cast and was carted off the field before being transported to a hospital. Ahmed was trying to earn his way onto the Colts' 53-man roster as a depth RB, but his status for the 2025 season is now in doubt given the details of the injury.

Colts' Salvon Ahmed: Dealing with back injury
Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Tuesday that Ahmed has a back injury, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Indianapolis will take a day off from training camp Wednesday, so Ahmed's next opportunity to take the practice field will come Thursday. The veteran running back joined the Colts' practice squad last season after being cut by Denver, but he didn't suit up for regular-season action with either team.

Colts' Salvon Ahmed: Sticking with Indianapolis
The Colts signed Ahmed to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Ahmed didn't suit up for regular-season action with Indianapolis in 2024, but he spent time on the team's practice squad after being cut by Denver in October. The veteran running back will spend the offseason competing to secure a depth spot in a backfield led by Jonathan Taylor.

Salvon Ahmed: Joins Colts' practice squad
The Colts signed Ahmed to their practice squad Wednesday.
Ahmed, who has yet to see action in 2024, has 38 career NFL appearances under his belt, all with Miami from 2020 through 2023. He'll provide the Colts' backfield with some healthy depth ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins while Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and Trey Sermon (knee) are currently nursing injuries.

Salvon Ahmed: Joins Denver's practice squad
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.

Salvon Ahmed: Gets injury waiver
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 departure could open up practice reps for the just-signed Anthony McFarland.

Salvon Ahmed: Released by Miami
The Dolphins released Ahmed (undisclosed) 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 on Monday.

Dolphins' Salvon Ahmed: Moves to NFI list
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.
