HCA: Husain Abdullah returns to the NFL

An interesting story on Husain Abdullah.

USA TODAY Sports

Husain and Hamza Abdullah took a year off from football for a religious pilgrimage last season, but now one of the former Cougar football players is working his way back in the NFL.

Husain signed with the Kansas City Chiefs earlier this offseason and he is now going though offseason workouts. Randy Covitz of the Kansas City Star wrote a feature on Abdullah, getting some insight into the year away from football as well as his transition back to the league. Abdullah said he hoped to get on a team at the end of last season, but he was forced to wait until this offseason. Hamza continues to wait for his shot back in the league as he remains a free agent.
