Falcons' Yasir Abdullah: Logs limited practice Wednesday
Abdullah (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
The Falcons designated Abdullah for return to practice from their injured reserve list Tuesday, and he was able to actually get back on the practice field Wednesday, albeit in a limited capacity. He's eligible to be activated ahead of Sunday's game versus the Bengals, but he'll likely need to manage a full practice Thursday or Friday to have a realistic chance to suit up in Week 9.

Falcons' Yasir Abdullah: Gets clearance to practice again
The Falcons designated Abdullah (hamstring) for return to practice from their injured reserve list Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Abdullah went to Atlanta's injured reserve list after hurting his hamstring back in Week 4 at New Orleans, but it now looks like he may be close to returning to game action. The transaction opens a 21-day window during which the Falcons can officially activate Abdullah from IR before they'd have to put him back on the shelf for the rest of the campaign.

Falcons' Yasir Abdullah: Moved to IR
The Falcons placed Abdullah (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.
Abdullah was already ruled out for Sunday's game against the Ravens, but his hamstring injury is severe enough for him to warrant a stint on injured reserve. He'll be required to miss at least the next four games, so the earliest Abdullah can return is Week 9 against the Bengals on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Jaguars' Yasir Abdullah: Inactive Sunday

Abdullah has played on 116 special-teams snaps and two defensive snaps in 2025, making seven tackles (five solo).
