Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers has missed practice recently, but it appears to be a precautionary move.
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that the soft-tissue injury Akers is dealing with is "not considered serious." Fowler added that the Rams are "taking preventative measures by holding him out of preseason practices but that’s the extent of it."
The third-year running back missed the first 16 games of last regular season because of an Achilles tear suffered during the offseason. Akers worked to make an improbable comeback and was designated to return from injured reserve Dec.
