Last season an Eagles running back suffered a torn ACL, and then the Eagles traded for a running back. History might be repeating itself as Jay Ajayi is out with a torn ACL and another trade for a running back is a real possibility. But who would be available? There are quite a few backs who might be available, but don’t get too excited.
Why the Lions would trade him: Abdullah isn’t getting any playing time. At all. He’s played four snaps this season, all on special teams.
