- In 2015, Abdullah stayed healthy throughout his rookie season, playing 362 snaps and amassing 143 rushing attempts. He ended his rookie campaign as the starter in the Lions backfield, and received a PFF overall grade of 69.5, ranking 45th of 66 qualifying running backs.
- Abdullah managed just 57 total snaps and 18 rush attempts in 2016 before a torn ligament in his foot prematurely ended his season.
