The Rams activated Akers (Achilles) from the reserve/non-football injury list Saturday, but he won't travel with the team for Sunday's game at Minnesota, making him unavailable for Week 16 action, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
The Rams always hinted Akers was further along in his recovery from a mid-July Achilles tear, which came to fruition when he was designated for return Thursday. Just two days later, he's back on the active roster, but the team will wait to mix him into the game plan for at least one more week. In the meantime, Sony Michel and Darrell Henderson will continue to man L.A.'s backfield.
