Cam Akers - Full participant at walkthrough Akers (Achilles) was a full participant at Wednesday's walk-through practice, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports. Impact The Rams merely released an estimated practice report, but Akers handled every rep thrown his way to kick off Week 17 prep. His activity level may take a step back if and when the team holds an actual practice this week, but he seems to be trending toward being available this Sunday at Baltimore. If Akers does so, it'll be quite the accomplishment after tearing his Achilles in mid-July. With Darrell Henderson (knee) going on injured reserve this week, Akers could act as Sony Michel's direct backup right away, especially because seventh-round rookie Jake Funk and fourth-year pro Buddy Howell are the only other healthy running backs on the active roster, with neither possessing much NFL experience.
