The NFL trade deadline arrives with a flurry of moves on Tuesday, but one of the most notable players who wasn’t traded was Rams running back Cam Akers.
The third-year player returned to practice on Thursday after missing the last couple weeks as he was “working on some things.” He reportedly butted heads with coach Sean McVay over “philosophical and football-related differences.”
Akers was outspoken about his desire to be traded before the deadline, but the Rams decided to keep him on the roster.
McVay, though, has stayed mostly quiet about the details of the situation with Akers.
