A day after Cam Akers returned to practice after nearly a month-long absence, Rams coach Sean McVay spoke Friday about the running back’s availability for Week 9 against the Buccaneers.
Akers had been away from the team since Oct. 9 as L.A. looked to move him prior to Tuesday’s trade deadline after reports emerged that he had a rift with McVay over “philosophical and football-related differences.” Prior to Friday’s practice, McVay was asked if Akers, who practiced in full Thursday, would be in the lineup on Sunday, prompting the coach to reveal that the team had not yet made a decision on his status.
“Just seeing how he feels physically, and then just looking at his ability to digest everything,” McVay said, per Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times.
