Akers (ribs) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
As he gears up for a potential return to action Sunday at Washington, Akers had his practice reps capped, but he still has two more sessions this week to move up to full participation. If he gains clearance to play, he may serve in some sort of timeshare with Malcolm Brown and Darrell Henderson, who have received 21 and 30 touches, respectively, during Akers' two-game absence.
