The Los Angeles Rams are sending running back Cam Akers to the Minnesota Vikings for a swap of 2026 draft picks, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday.
Akers was a healthy scratch last Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, something Rams coach Sean McVay called a "coach's decision" that was made in the "best interest" of the team.
Akers joins a Vikings team that currently ranks last in total rushing yards and rushing first downs. They are also the only team without a rush of 10-plus yards in 2023.
