The Minnesota Vikings are expected to sign running back Cam Akers, who came to the team in a trade last September from the Los Angeles Rams. Akers has been without a team since his contract expired in March, but he is known for his quick recovery from injuries and has passed all physicals so far. If he re-signs with the Vikings, he will once again work with head coach Kevin O’Connell, who was previously the offensive coordinator for the Rams. It is uncertain where Akers will fall in the running back depth chart, as the team also has Aaron Jones and Ty Chandler as options in the backfield. In his limited playing time for Minnesota last season, Akers recorded just over 200 scrimmage yards and caught 11 passes as a third-down option.
