Packers' Israel Abanikanda: Finds paydirt for Packers
Abanikanda had 12 carries for 43 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 23-10 preseason victory over the Jets. He also returned five kicks for 120 yards in the contest.
It was a busy Saturday afternoon for Abanikanda, who in addition to being busy on specials teams, led the Packers in both carries and rushing yards. Abanikanda's chances of securing a roster spot will improve if MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) misses any sort of significant time, but he is still presumably behind both Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks -- and of course, starter Josh Jacobs -- on the depth chart.

Packers' Israel Abanikanda: Back from hamstring injury
Abanikanda (hamstring) returned to practice Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Abanikanda's back after missing practice Tuesday and Wednesday. He's one of seven running backs currently with the team, but Abanikanda's unlikely to earn a spot on the 53-man roster, though a practice-squad spot is a more realistic possibility.

Packers' Israel Abanikanda: Hampered by hamstring injury
Abanikanda (hamstring) did not practice Tuesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Abanikanda played 21 offensive snaps in the Packers' preseason opener against the Jets this past Saturday and rushed six times for 19 yards. With MarShawn Lloyd (groin) and Emanuel Wilson (knee) out for that one, Abanikanda played behind both Josh Jacobs and Chris Brooks, so Abanikanda can't afford to miss much time if he's going to make a run at a 53-man roster spot.

Packers' Israel Abanikanda: First appearance with Packers
Abanikanda had six carries for 19 yards in Saturday's 30-10 preseason loss to the Jets.
The Packers claimed Abanikanda off waivers in late July, and he made his first appearance with his new team in Green Bay's exhibition opener. He sits no higher than fifth on the depth chart, so barring an injury to another running back, he will have his work cut out for him leading up to cutdown day.

Packers' Israel Abanikanda: Finds home in Green Bay
The Packers claimed Abanikanda off waivers Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Abanikanda quickly found a new home after being waived by the 49ers on Thursday. The 2023 fifth-rounder spent the entire 2024 campaign on the Jets' practice squad, but he'll now have an opportunity to earn a spot on the Packers' 53-man roster. Chris Brooks, Amar Johnson (undisclosed) and Jalen White are Abanikanda's primary competitors for the fourth RB spot on the depth chart behind Josh Jacobs, MarShawn Lloyd and Emanuel Wilson.

Israel Abanikanda: Let go by Niners
The 49ers waived Abanikanda on Thursday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
After Jacob Cowing pulled his hamstring during Wednesday's practice, the 49ers added depth to their wide receiver room by cutting Abanikanda in order to make room on the 90-man training camp roster for Quintez Cephus. Abanikanda spent the entire 2024 season on the 49ers' practice squad, and he hasn't seen regular-season action since 2023 as a member of the Jets. Assuming he clears waivers, the 2023 fifth-round pick will look to catch on with a team looking to bolster its backfield depth.
