While Frank Reich, Marlon Mack, and the Indianapolis Colts are hoping with all of their might that they aren’t bitten by the injury bug this season, the Los Angeles Rams found out that bad news can strike at any time, specifically regarding breakout running back Cam Akers.
Akers was projected to have a monster sophomore season given his status as the lead back in LA, but he has now been ruled out for the season with a torn Achilles that he suffered while training.
