Ameer Abdullah showcases skills for Jaguars in preseason loss to Panthers
Summary

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Ameer Abdullah had a strong outing on August 21 in a preseason game against the Carolina Panthers, rushing for 45 yards on six carries and catching three passes for 37 yards before the Jaguars fell 34-17. Abdullah served as the team's key offensive contributor in the first half but dropped a potential touchdown pass. His performance continues to bolster his case for a roster spot alongside fellow running back J'Mari Taylor. With only two joint practices against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers remaining, Abdullah is eager for more first-team reps as final roster cuts approach on August 29.
