Cam Akers the fourth-year running back of the Los Angeles Rams was made inactive against the San Francisco 49ers.
Akers started the season as the team’s starting running back. After carrying 22 for 29 yards and a touchdown the previous week, he was quickly relegated.
According to Fox Sports, Cam Akers requested a trade last season as he was not satisfied with his role. He was absent from the team and returned later when no deal was solidified.
Akers’ potential return to the team’s active roster if a trade doesn’t materialize was a question that the head coach Sean McVay was asked about.
He said, “That won’t be an opportunity,”
“It’ll be an opportunity to make a move. . . . I feel good about the opportunity to move him, but we won’t go back and forth on it.”
Akers also expressed that he was “confused” about being inactive over the social media but McVay claimed that the team had been “very clear” with Akers and his agent about the situation.
McVay had said, “This isn’t an indictment on any individual,”
“I really care a lot about Cam and I’m appreciative of some of the challenging things that we’ve gone through and where we ended up getting to in terms of our relationship and our ability to communicate clearly, which is why it’s kind of tough for me to hear that there is confusion.”
“But I wish him nothing but the best. I think he’s got a lot of ability, and that’s really all I want to be able to add on to that but I’m grateful for the many contributions he made over the course of his career as a Ram.”
They “felt good” about the conversations they had in what would be the concluding days of Akers with the Los Angeles Rams.
