PHOENIX – Ameer Abdullah’s sophomore season was off to a good start before a foot injury he suffered in the second half of the second game of the season derailed it last year.
The injury required surgery, and Abdullah wasn't able to return in time to help the Lions late in the season or in the playoffs. It was the second major surgery (shoulder) in the same calendar year for Abdullah.
“He’s coming along rehabbing and he’ll be able to, at some point in time, work out there on the field this spring. So we’ll see where he is,” head coach Jim Caldwell said of Abdullah at the league meetings.
