Cam Akers

MIN • RB • #22

Vikings acquired RB Cam Akers and a 2026 conditional seventh-round pick from the Texans in exchange for a 2026 conditional sixth-round pick.

This is the second season in a row the Vikings have traded for Cam Akers, who has 40 carries for 147 yards and a touchdown this season. This indicates Aaron Jones (hip) may still be feeling the effects of the hip injury he suffered in Week 5, though he was practicing on Monday. Akers adds depth to a backfield with Ty Chandler as the primary backup.
