The Minnesota Vikings have been dealing with a multitude of injuries throughout the first half of the NFL season, and still, they’ve weathered the storm to a 5-4 record.
That long list of injuries grew this past weekend, and Kevin O’Connell confirmed on Monday that RB Cam Akers suffered a torn Achilles in Week 9 against the Falcons.
Akers’ season now comes to an end after being a boon to the Vikings backfield over the past month and a half since being acquired from the Los Angeles Rams.
