L.A. Rams running back Cam Akers—yes, “L.A. Rams’ Cam Akers”—returned to Rams practice on Thursday. After failing to find a trade partner, and unable to land a replacement running back, head coach Sean McVay is back to Plan Akers. Will Akers return to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 9?
Back at practice after a few weeks off, Akers doesn’t have much standing in between him and a significant role in L.A.’s backfield. Only Darrell Henderson and Malcolm Brown, with Ronnie Rivers looming on the practice squad and Kyren Williams working his way back from an injury.
