Coach Andy Reid said Husain Abdullah is the current favorite for the Chiefs' free safety job. Abdullah had 27 tackles and an interception playing behind Kendrick Lewis last season. He's best suited for a third safety role, but provides a veteran option if the Chiefs fail to upgrade in the draft. 2013 fifth-round pick Sanders Commings will also compete for a snaps opposite Eric Berry.

Chiefs re-signed S Husain Abdullah to a two-year contract. Abdullah, 29 in July, couldn't overtake Kendrick Lewis for starting free safety duties last season, but did contribute on special teams and had a 44-yard pick six on defense. He should be Kansas City's third safety in 2014.

Chiefs signed FS Husain Abdullah, formerly of the Vikings. Abdullah, 27, was graded as a top-25 safety by Pro Football Focus in 2011 before sitting out the entire 2012 season while pursuing religious obligations. The Vikings wanted to sign him to an extension a year ago. This could be an under-the-radar pickup for a Kansas City team needy across from SS Eric Berry.

Free agent S Husain Abdullah will work out for the Chiefs this week. Abdullah, and his brother Hamza, walked away from the NFL last summer to pursue religious obligations. Husain was also considering hanging up his cleats due to concussion problems. The 27-year-old had an extension with the Vikings lined up, but his religious beliefs forced him to turn it down.

Free agent S Husain Abdullah is reportedly walking away from the NFL to pursue religious obligations. According to ESPN 1500 Twin Cities, Abdullah turned down a contract extension last season in part because his Muslim beliefs prevented him drawing attention to himself. He told Vikings officials months ago that he was considering retirement after battling concussion issues the past couple of seasons. Abdullah finishes his four-year career with 95 tackles and four interceptions over 54 games.

Free agent S Husain Abdullah (concussions) has reportedly made it clear to the Vikings that he can and will play this season. Abdullah briefly considered retirement before gaining medical clearance in late January. He's still weighing his options after receiving an offer from the Vikings a month ago.

The Vikings still hope to re-sign both S Hussain Abdullah and LB E.J. Henderson. Abdullah has reportedly been mulling over an offer from the Vikings for, at least, a few days now. ESPN 1500 Twin Cities' Tom Pelissero suggests that Abdullah has a much better chance of returning than Henderson, as the Vikings are looking to rebuild the middle of their defense this offseason.

Free agent SS Husain Abdullah is "mulling over" a contract offer from the Vikings. Abdullah was having a solid season in 2011 before his second concussion in four years sent him to injured reserve in Week 13. He has been cleared to resume playing, however. The Vikings are thin at safety behind Jamarca Sanford.

Free agent S Husain Abdullah (concussion) has gained clearance to continue his football career after visiting two specialists last week.

Impending free agent FS Husain Abdullah revealed that he will consider retiring this offseason due to concussions. Abdullah had the best season of his career in 2011 and is only 26, but he's been concussed four times over the past two seasons. "If the doctor comes and tells me something I don't want to hear," said Abdullah, "then definitely I've got to start putting the family first." The Vikings offered Abdullah an extension offer earlier in the year, but tabled it after he went on I.R.
