According to Lions HC Jim Caldwell, the lack of carries for RB Ameer Abdullah is dependant on the particular situation. Caldwell added that Abdullah may start getting some third-down carries.
“It just depends on the situation, and we use our guys where we think they fit in particular games,” Caldwell said, via Michael Rothstein of ESPN. “There may be some games where he may get some. There may be other games that he doesn’t.”
Abdullah added that he has not thought about his lack of carries on third downs.
