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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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: Activated off NFI list
Rotowire
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.

Dolphins' Salvon Ahmed: Done for season
Rotowire
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.

Dolphins' Salvon Ahmed: Goes to IR
Rotowire
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.

Dolphins' Salvon Ahmed: Scores in win over Raiders
Rotowire
Ahmed carried the ball three times for six yards during Sunday's 20-13 win over Las Vegas. He also secured all three of his targets for 25 yards and one touchdown.
Ahmed benefited from extra work behind Raheem Mostert after De'Von Achane (knee), who was playing in his first game back from IR, exited early. It remains to be seen whether Achane will be available for a Black Friday divisional matchup against the Jets, but if the rookie ends up missing more time, Ahmed will likely handle an increased role again. Jeff Wilson could also be active if Achane isn't available.

Dolphins' Salvon Ahmed: Remains involved in loss to Chiefs
Rotowire
Ahmed carried the ball three times for four yards during Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Chiefs. He also secured two of three targets for eight yards.
Ahmed saw a similar workload to Jeff Wilson during Sunday's loss in Frankfurt, while both worked behind starter Raheem Mostert. Only Mostert was able to get anything going versus Kansas City's formidable defense, however, and with De'Von Achane (knee) potentially coming off IR for Week 11, after Miami's bye, Ahmed's opportunities could quickly diminish.

Dolphins' Salvon Ahmed: Week 7 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
The Dolphins didn't activate Jeff Wilson (ribs) off IR in Week 6, and Christopher Brooks (ankle) was hurt against Carolina. With De'Von Achane (knee) on IR, Ahmed could be the No. 2 running back for the Dolphins in tandem with Raheem Mostert in Week 7 at Philadelphia. We hope to see Wilson get activated prior to that game, but Ahmed is a good running back to speculate on in case Wilson remains out. Add Ahmed for 1 percent of your FAB.

Dolphins' Salvon Ahmed: Scores vs. Panthers
Rotowire
Ahmed carried the ball six times for 23 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 42-21 win over Carolina.
Ahmed worked behind Raheem Mostert (115 rushing yards and three total TDs) during Sunday's blowout win over the Panthers, though Chris Brooks (ankle) also handled six carries before being forced out during the fourth quarter. It looks probably Jeff Wilson (ribs) will healthy enough to make his season debut Week 8 against Philadelphia, though, and if operating at 100 percent, he would stand to work ahead of Ahmed as a complement to Mostert.

Dolphins' Salvon Ahmed: No touches Week 4
Rotowire
Ahmed did not handle a carry during Sunday's 48-20 loss to the Bills.
Ahmed, in his return from a groin injury that forced him to sit out Week 3, played just one offensive snap during Sunday's divisional loss and did not record a touch. Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane appear to have established themselves as the clear top options in Miami's backfield, so Ahmed will remain off the fantasy radar heading into the Dolphins' matchup against the Giants in Week 5.

Dolphins' Salvon Ahmed: Suits up Sunday
Rotowire
Ahmed (groin) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Ahmed missed the Dolphins' 70-20 win over the Broncos in Week 3, but he'll be back in uniform Sunday. That said, Ahmed figures to work in a complementary role in his return, with Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane - who both racked up big numbers versus Denver - on track to continue to lead the team's backfield in Week 4.

Dolphins' Salvon Ahmed: Questionable against Buffalo
Rotowire
Ahmed (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
After missing the 70-20 win over the Broncos in Week 3, Ahmed was a limited participant in all three of Miami's practices throughout Week 4. If he suits up Sunday, Ahmed will likely be relegated to a third-string role behind Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane, both of whom scored four touchdowns in Ahmed's absence against Denver.
