The Vikings kept a second free agent in running back Ameer Abdullah.
Abdullah, who turns 26 in June, will provide depth in the backfield and on special teams after signing a new contract on Monday, the team announced. Terms of the deal were not immediately available.
The former second-round pick was claimed off waivers from the Lions in Week 10 last season. Abdullah appeared in seven games for the Vikings and played mostly special teams, where he averaged 25.8 yards on 10 kickoff returns. The Vikings' primary kickoff returner last season, cornerback Mike Hughes, is recovering from a torn ACL.
