The injury could put the former Florida State University star out for the entire year. He was predicted to be a impact player for the Rams.

Akers had a breakout season as a rookie in 2019 where he averaged over 100 yards per game in the final seven games that year.

How long Akers will officially sit out has not been determined but the injury is a definite big blow to the Rams organization.
