Cam Akers, running back for the Minnesota Vikings, has been placed on injured reserve due to a torn left Achilles' tendon. This is the second Achilles' injury of his NFL career, with the previous one causing him to miss most of the 2021 season. Akers had shown promise in his time with the Vikings, rushing for 138 yards and a touchdown and catching 11 of 12 targets for 70 yards in six appearances. However, with this career-threatening injury, it is uncertain if he will have the opportunity to sign with a team in the 2024 offseason.
