Cam Akers Active

Vikings RB Cam Akers (illness) is active for tonight's game vs. the Rams. He popped up on the injury report on Saturday but should be ready for his usual change-of-pace role behind RB Aaron Jones tonight.

Vikings RB Cam Akers is listed as questionable for Monday night's game vs. the Rams after missing Saturday's practice with an illness. Players rarely miss games with illnesses, but Akers' status will be worth watching. His absence would leave Ty Chandler as Minnesota's lead back -- and likely mean more volume for RB Aaron Jones.

Vikings RB Aaron Jones suffered a quad contusion in today’s win over the Packers, HC Kevin O’Connell said afterward. That doesn’t sound like an injury that’ll keep Jones out of next week’s game vs. the Lions, which is for the NFC North crown. We’ll keep you posted on Jones’ status throughout the coming week. His absence would leave Cam Akers as Minnesota’s lead back.

Vikings RB Aaron Jones carried just five times for 22 yards and added 3 receptions for a mere 6 yards in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. Fortunately, his final catch went for a 5-yard, game-winning TD to save an otherwise brutal fantasy line.
