‘Write Your Own Destiny’: Cam Akers’s Remarkable Return To The Rams
Manage episode 318049111 series 2543851
On Monday night, in the Rams’ playoff win over the Cardinals, running back Cam Akers came up just short of 100 yards from scrimmage, which wouldn’t register as that remarkable of a feat — except that Akers wasn’t supposed to be playing in that game at all. Today, The Athletic’s Jourdan Rodrigue takes us behind the scenes of Akers’s incredible comeback, returning from one of the most devastating injuries in sports — a torn Achilles tendon — in just five and a half months. Plus, what to expect when the Rams take on Tom Brady and the reigning Super Bowl champs this weekend.
