During the 2021 offseason, Rams running back suffered a torn achilles during a training session away from the team. Many expected Akers to miss the entirety of the 2021-2022 season, and understandably so, as an achilles injury is widely known as a year-long recovery process. Coming off an impressive rookie season in 2020, the injury was devastating for a player that was expected to have a breakout season in year 2 of his career.
Amazingly, Cam Akers was able to fully recover and suit up for the Rams’ championship run, playing in week 18 all the way through the Super Bowl.
