Watch: Cam Akers shares rehab update 5 weeks after tearing Achilles

Cam Akers’ 2021 season ended before it could even begin when he tore his Achilles while working out before training camp. He’ll miss his entire second season in the NFL, targeting a return in 2022.

He’s now five weeks removed from suffering the injury and is making progress. Akers shared an update on Instagram Monday, showing himself walking on an anti-gravity treadmill at 70% of his body weight.


It may seem like a small step, but a ruptured Achilles is no minor injury so any progress is good to see from the Rams running back.

Here’s a look at the video:

In Akers’ place, Darrell Henderson Jr. will be the Rams’ starting running back, with Jake Funk and Xavier Jones backing him up.

It's sill a punch in the gut when we lost Akers for the season.

I won't pretend we are fine without him.

It pains me that he's not going to line up behind Stafford in 2021.

I couldn't agree more Florida! It really sucked when he went down! Hendo will be fine until he gets dinged. That's why IMO we need to bring in some kind of vet RB and I think they will do just that.

Anyone you like or think would be able to help us? I am leaning towards AP but there might be others after all the cuts are done.

#HelmetHornsMatter

“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.

“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
