The Chicago Bears<\/a> are signing veteran running back Salvon Ahmed<\/a>, according to a report from NFL insider Jordan Schultz<\/a>.<\/p>\n Denver Broncos<\/a> fans might remember Ahmed (5-11, 197 pounds) having a brief cup of coffee with the Broncos<\/a> during the 2024 NFL season. After losing Tyler Badie to a back injury that year, Denver signed Ahmed to its practice squad. The Broncos ended up cutting Ahmed just one week later<\/a> as other running backs returned to health.<\/p>\n After being cut by Denver, Ahmed landed with the Indianapolis Colts<\/a>, and he was set to compete for a rotational role going into preseason last summer. Ahmed suffered a gruesome ankle injury<\/a> at practice with the Colts<\/a> last August, and he spent the entire 2025 regular season on injured reserve.<\/p>\n Ahmed has since recovered and he will now get a fresh start in Chicago. The 27-year-old running back totaled 867 yards from scrimmage and scored six touchdowns while playing for the Miami Dolphins<\/a> from 2020-2023. He has not appeared in a regular season game since being cut by Miami in 2024.<\/p>\n Social: Follow\u00a0Broncos Wire<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Twitter\/X<\/a>!\u00a0Did you know:\u00a0These 25 celebrities are Broncos fans<\/a>.<\/p>\n Need a news break?
