Vikings Enhance Backfield with Cam Akers on Gameday Roster

For the second consecutive week, the Minnesota Vikings have elevated veteran running back Cam Akers from their practice squad to the active roster. This move underscores the team’s commitment to bolstering their running game as they prepare for a crucial matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Ireland.

Akers, who re-joined the Vikings earlier this season, will once again serve as a backup option alongside Zavier Scott, supporting the primary running back, Jordan Mason. This strategic decision comes as the Vikings look to strengthen their offensive depth and ensure they have reliable options in their backfield.

The announcement was confirmed via the Vikings’ official social media channels, highlighting Akers’ readiness to contribute. As the team gears up for the Sunday clash, fans will be eager to see how Akers integrates into the game plan and what impact he can make on the field.

With Akers back in the fold, the Vikings are hoping to enhance their rushing attack, particularly against a formidable Steelers’ defense. The addition of Akers provides a sense of stability and experience, which could prove vital in what promises to be a competitive matchup.
