The Rams designated running back Cam Akers to return from Injured Reserve on Wednesday.
No date has been set for Akers's return to the field as he recovers from a torn Achilles. Los Angeles has 21 days to activate Akers onto its roster.
Akers, 22, was selected by the Rams in the second round of the 2020 NFL draft. He ran for 625 yards and two touchdowns as a rookie, and he added a pair of scores in the postseason. Los Angeles has relied on a running back duo in Akers's absence, with Darrell Henderson and Sony Michel tallying 148 and 141 careers, respectively.
