Cam Akers was poised for a breakout season this year as the Rams’ lead running back, but an Achilles injury suffered while training has caused a major setback. Akers is expected to miss the 2021 season with a torn Achilles, a devastating blow for the second-year back.
As crushing as the news is, Akers remains in great spirits. He shared a message with fans and his supporters on Twitter, thanking them for their messages and prayers. He says he’s in great spirits and plans to be back better than ever.
For a guy who played through an ankle injury late last year, toughness isn’t a question whatsoever.
I just want to thank any and every person sending prayers my way and wishing me well. I hate this happened but I’m in great spirits and I understand God makes no mistakes. I’ll be back better than ever in no time I’m a soldier. Again, thank you
