Ahmed, 22, ranks second on the team with 149 rushing yards. He also has 12 catches for 117 yards in 12 games.
Lindsay, 27, was signed off waivers from the Houston Texans on Nov. 24 and made his Miami debut against the Carolina Panthers four days later. He carried 12 times for 42 yards in a 33-10 win.
