Former Rams running back Cam Akers was feared to have torn his left Achilles tendon Sunday in the Vikings vs Falcons game. After almost being traded in 2022, Akers was traded to the Vikings from LA in late September of this year. A “philosophical difference” with head coach Sean McVay when it came to the 4th-year pro’s role on the team was cited as the reason for the trade, in which the Rams swapped late round 2025 picks with Minnesota.
This would be Akers second Achilles tear of his short NFL career, with the first being in training camp of the 2021 season.
