The Minnesota Vikings fear that running back Cam Akers has suffered a torn Achilles, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell. Akers had previously torn his right Achilles in July 2021 and made a comeback in January 2022. If confirmed, this latest injury would end Akers' 2023 season, leaving Alexander Mattison and Ty Chandler as the primary running backs for the Vikings.
