LA Rams rookie RB Cam Akers slowly getting a ‘fragile’ reputation

The LA Rams needed a featured running back in the 2020 NFL Draft, and selected Florida State rusher Cam Akers. Je is the team leader in rushing yards, having rushed 124 times for 591 yards. He’s done that on just 249 offensive snaps, which is only 26 percent of the offense so far this season. Of the Rams 14 games this season, Akers had already missed two games with a rib seperation injury. And now he is out with a high ankle sprain.
