Ameer Abdullah is trying to regain the trust of Jim Caldwell after his fumbling issues resurfaced last week.

"Coach made the call to sit me down, which probably was the right decision," Abdullah said, via the Detroit Free Press. "The way the game was going, he probably felt like he couldn't trust me, so I'm just doing my best to regain his trust, as I know I can do."

Joe Lombardi confirmed earlier in the week that Abdullah will remain a fixture in Detroit's backfield.

"He's a young player, I don't think we banish him to the minors yet," Lombardi said. "You guys talk to him, he's a great kid, he's a smart player, he wants to do good. He's everything you want character wise from a football player. So I think that you kind of trust that he's going to keep working on it and get better."
