Cam Akers Feared To Have Torn Achilles
1 year agoMinnesota Vikings running back Cam Akers (Achilles) is feared to have torn his Achilles during Week 9 versus the Atlanta Falcons, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell. He exited during the second half and was quickly ruled out, finishing the game with 25 rushing and 13 receiving yards. This is a tough break for the former Rams running back, who has now torn his Achilles twice through four seasons in the NFL. It's also bad news for the Vikings, who have struggled to stay healthy on offense. For the time being, Alexander Mattison will continue to lead the Minnesota backfield, while Ty Chandler backs him up.
