Cam Akers Joins Rams’ Rival After Vikings Release

Former Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers has joined the NFC West, shortly after being released by the Minnesota Vikings. He has signed with the Seattle Seahawks, reinforcing their roster amidst injury challenges.

Cam Akers Signs with Seattle Seahawks

Following his recent release, Akers is set to play as a depth running back for the Seahawks. He will support Kenneth Walker II and Zach Charbonnet, while George Holani is sidelined due to injury.

Background and Performance Against Rams

Akers has faced the Rams multiple times since his trade in 2023. In 2024, he played against them with the Vikings during the regular season but did not make any carries in that game. However, he did have some involvement during the playoffs, where he rushed five times for 39 yards across just 12 offensive snaps.

Upcoming Matchup

Looking ahead, Akers is poised for another opportunity to compete against his former team. The Seahawks are scheduled to host the Rams in Week 16, a significant contest in the NFC West standings.
