EAGAN, Minn. — The Minnesota Vikings have a strong sense of appreciation for Cam Akers. Coach Kevin O'Connell's fondness runs deep, back to their days together with the Los Angeles Rams. Fellow running back Aaron Jones called Akers a "positive light" around the team. Akers was acquired in a trade with the Houston Texans by the Vikings earlier this season for the second straight year. He tore his Achilles tendon last season six weeks after he was dealt to the Vikings by the Rams. The Vikings play at the Rams this week in an NFC wild-card round playoff game.
