ALLEN PARK -- It seems Ameer Abdullah has made the Detroit Lions' opening week roster.
Dwayne Washington is being cut and Zach Zenner is being placed on injured reserve, according to the Detroit Free Press, as the club makes its way to the 53-man roster limit. The deadline is 4 p.m.
Washington and Zenner had been Abdullah's competition for the fourth running back spot. So as long as the Lions aren't going light there -- and they're not expected to -- Abdullah appears to be safe.
"I think Ameer has done a really good job here competing through camp," coach Matt Patricia said after the preseason finale.
