Today, the LA Rams rushing offense just blew up. Seriously, the ground game suffered a huge setback as the Rams fanbase awakened to learn of the news that starting and featured running back Cam Akers suffered a season-ending injury. He tore his Achilles Tendon, an injury that is most certainly a season-ender for the young man and will have an entire array of impacts upon the Rams offense this year.
There is a lot to sort out here. First of all, while this is truly a devastating injury that will require a long recovery for Cam Akers, the timing is such that the team has sufficient advance warning to attempt to compensate before the 2021 NFL season arrives.
