Overview

• Abdullah’s move is his second elevation of the season after a Week 5 call-up in which he recorded two carries for six yards and a touchdown.
• Tyler Goodson has been ruled out with a groin injury, positioning Abdullah as backfield depth alongside DJ Giddens and a special-teams option.
• Abdullah adds extensive return credentials with 151 career kickoff returns for 3,783 yards and recent kick-coverage snaps in Week 5.
• Mitchell’s promotion is his first since joining the practice squad on Oct. 4, reinforcing cornerback depth with Kenny Moore not playing.
• Indianapolis plans to start Charvarius Ward and Mekhi Blackmon outside with Chris Lammons at nickel, with Mitchell and Johnathan Edwards available off the bench.
