Cam Akers suffers possible career-ending injury in Vikings win over Falcons

The former Los Angeles Rams running back can’t seem to catch a break when it comes to injuries.

When Cam Akers was traded to the Minnesota Vikings in September of this year, it was set to be a fresh start for both the player and his former team, the Los Angeles Rams.

Kyren Williams broke onto the scene for the Rams, churning out production until a knee injury landed him on IR in mid-October. Akers took a little while to get acclimated, but began racking up double digit touches in games beginning in Week 7.

Cam Akers tears his Achilles again
He hit double digits again on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, but he suffered an injury in the second half that left him unable to put weight on his left leg.

The injury was initially deemed an “ankle”, but following the game, Vikingshead coach Kevin O’Connell said the team believes Akers suffered a torn Achilles.

This would be the second Achilles tear for Akers in his career, although this one is to his other leg.

Akers tore his right Achilles during training camp ahead of the 2021 season. The running back made a speedy recovery, making a regular season appearance and then playing in all four of the Rams’ playoff games during their Super Bowl run.

But it was clear that Akers was a shell of his former self as a player. He averaged a measly 2.6 yards per carry in the playoffs.

The following season, in 2022, Akers was not a featured part of the offense early in the year. He proceeded to request a trade, although he later denied it. Akers then saw big workloads with the Rams’ season virtually over.

But in 2023, it was clear the Rams didn’t value him highly. That’s why he was traded to Minnesota. Akers had only averaged 2.7 yards per carry this year with the Vikings. With yet another torn Achilles to recover from, it’s fair to wonder if we’ve seen the last of the running back in the NFL.

As the NFL season progresses, the Minnesota Vikings are facing critical decisions regarding their player lineup, particularly star wide receiver Justin Jefferson. Jefferson, a pivotal player for the Vikings, has been grappling with a hamstring injury since Week 5’s match against the Kansas City Chiefs. His participation in practice, limited since November 8th, has raised concerns about his readiness for upcoming games.

The Vikings, currently holding a 6-5 record, face a pressing deadline of November 29 to decide Jefferson’s status. The team must choose whether to activate him on the roster or place him back on the Injured Reserve (IR), potentially sidelining him for the remainder of the season.

In addition to Jefferson, the Vikings have several other players with varying injury concerns. Tight end T.J. Hockenson is dealing with rib issues, while cornerback Akayleb Evans is limited by a calf injury. Their limited participation in practices signals a cautious approach by the team’s medical staff.

Vikings will be getting other key players back
On a positive note, quarterbacks Jaren Hall and Nick Mullens, along with linebacker Brian Asamoah II, have fully participated in recent sessions. Hall’s recovery from a concussion and Mullens’ return from a back injury are encouraging signs for the team’s depth in the quarterback position.

Interestingly, quarterback Josh Dobbs, previously on the injury report due to an ankle issue, was not listed in the latest update. This development suggests an improvement in his condition, offering the Vikings additional options as they prepare for their next game.

As the Vikings gear up for their Monday night clash with the Chicago Bears, the team’s injury report and player availability will be crucial factors. The coaching staff and medical team are undoubtedly working closely to ensure the best possible lineup, balancing the need for player recovery with the competitive demands of the league.
