Akers lands on a Vikings team that is still
coping with the offseason loss of Dalvin Cook. He joins an RB
room composed of two-game starter Alexander Mattison along with
Ty Chandler and Myles Gaskin. Mattison has rushed for 62 yards
in two games.
Akers, 24, requested a trade last season after being
dissatisfied with his role with Los Angeles. He returned to the
team after the Rams failed to find a suitable trade partner.
Akers started in Week 1 for the Rams, rushing for 29 yards and a
touchdown on 22 carries in a win at Seattle. But he was a
healthy inactive last week against the San Francisco 49ers.
He has 360 carries for 1,443 yards and 10 touchdowns in 30
career games (15 starts) since being selected by Los Angeles in
the second round of the 2020 draft out of Florida State.
