Houston Texans Secure Running Back Cam Akers, Sources Confirm

Texans Sign Running Back Cam Akers

On Sunday, the Houston Texans secured free agent Cam Akers, known for his resilience and skill on the field. The addition of Akers bolsters a running back unit already featuring Joe Mixon, a 2021 Pro Bowler brought in during March, and Dameon Pierce, who has accumulated 1,355 rushing yards over two seasons. Akers, once a notable player at Florida State, faces a significant challenge returning from his second Achilles tendon injury, previously sustained with the Minnesota Vikings.

The Texans’ backfield gains new depth with Akers, who first demonstrated his potential as a 2020 second-round pick for the Los Angeles Rams. His tenure with the Rams saw him amass 1,443 yards and 10 touchdowns in four seasons. Despite his previous injury setbacks, Akers made a remarkable return to contribute to the Rams’ Super Bowl run, indicating a strong resolve and athletic prowess.

Joining the Texans, Akers must now compete for his spot on the team. With three training camp practices already underway, he has the opportunity to prove himself. KPRC 2 Houston initially reported this signing, confirming Akers’ arrival as a strategic move for the Texans’ upcoming season.
