The Rams are currently down their top two running backs in practice after both Cam Akers and Darrell Henderson Jr. suffered what Sean McVay called “soft-tissue injuries.” Fortunately, it’s only August so they haven’t missed any regular-season games, but the Rams need at least one of them back by Week 1.
It sounds like Akers should be fine for the opener, which is three weeks away. According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, Akers’ injury is not considered serious and the team is just holding him out of practices as a precaution.
