Ahmed, who joined Chicago on May 20, 2026 , made a strong impression during the team's preseason. In his Bears preseason debut against the Cleveland Browns, he recorded two rushing attempts for 17 yards and added three receptions for 55 yards. His performance included a 49-yard touchdown reception on a pass from quarterback Case Keenum. He finished the 2026 preseason with six carries for 36 yards, averaging 6.0 yards per attempt.
The 27-year-old originally entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2020 after playing college football at Washington. The San Francisco 49ers signed him on May 1, 2020, before waiving him on Aug. 25. The Miami Dolphins then claimed him off waivers the following day.
