Running back Cam Akers was designated to return by the Los Angeles Rams.
The 2020 second-round pick has yet to make his season debut after tearing his Achilles in July. Adam was expected to miss the entire year.
The Rams have 21 days to add Akers to their active roster again. It gives them a few weeks to see him in practice and possibly get him ready for the playoffs.
Sean McVay told Jordan Rodrigue in October that he thought Akers would be able to contribute in the late stages of the season.
If we are able to make the playoffs and give ourselves a chance to play after the regular season, the expectation is that Cam would be available to play. "He is on track to do that."
Akers ran for 625 yards and two touchdown and caught 11 passes for 123 yards and one score as a rookies. In the two games he played in the playoffs, he went for 221 rushing yards.
Darrell Henderson Jr. and SonyMichel have been the main players in the running game. The pair have over 1,300 yards and 14 touchdown on the ground.
The surge of new cases due to the Omicron variant is prompting teams to put key players on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Los Angeles would get more depth in the backfield with Akers back.
