As Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports, Los Angeles Rams running backs Cam Akers and Darrell Henderson “split first-team reps pretty evenly” at training camp.
Per Rodrigue, “I would place a safer bet on Akers’ emergence long term as the lead, but a lot of that is based on Henderson’s health history. Both running backs look sharp in the passing game, where I expect their usage to increase.”
Coming off last year’s torn Achilles, Akers performed poorly upon his return, averaging just 2.6 yards per carry on 67 attempts in the Rams’ four postseason games.
