Cam Akers' time with the Los Angeles Rams appears to be over.
against the Carolina Panthers while Akers and the team are"working through some different things."
McVay failed to explain what he meant by that, but added that the team is dealing with the situation internally and that it's"kind of uncharted territories." Rapoport added that McVay and Akers have been"cordial" and Akers' frustrations are more about his place among the Rams' running backs than anything else.It's unclear exactly what went wrong with the partnership between Akers and the Rams.
The 23-year-old rusher was drafted 52nd overall out of Florida State in 2020 and appeared on his way to a key role in the Rams' future after he rushed 145 times for 625 yards and two touchdowns during his rookie year. Akers tore his Achilles tendon prior to the 2021 season, though, and he missed all but one regular season game. He did return for the Rams' Super Bowl run but managed just 2.6 yards per carry on 67 attempts in the playoffs.
Akers returned healthy in 2022, but saw just 18 percent of the Rams' offensive snaps in Week 1 and only 35 percent overall over the first five weeks of the season. And when Akers did play, he was ineffective and averaged just 3.0 yards per attempt.
