Cam Akers (Achilles) making season debut for Rams Week 18
Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers (Achilles) will make his season debut in Week 18 against the San Francisco 49ers.
What It Means:
Akers started out the week with a full practice and is set to play for the first time just ahead of the postseason. Rams head coach Sean McVay said Akers was "full speed, flying around" at practice. Akers will likely see a modest workload in Week 18 to prepare him for a playoff push. Darrell Henderson remains out with a knee injury.
numberFire's models project Akers for 6.5 touches in Week 18 against the 49ers.
