Cam Akers made a strong impression for the Houston Texans in the Hall of Fame Game.
The Houston Texans didn't play many of their starters in Thursday night's Hall of Fame Game against the Chicago Bears, but they did feature a player who could be rising up the depth chart.
Veteran running back Cam Akers is coming off two Achilles tears before arriving with the Texans, but he responded with a pair of catches and five rushes for 13 yards in Thursday's game. He also found the end zone on the receiving end of a pass from Case Keenum in the second quarter. “Cam made a couple of nice plays that everybody saw," coach DeMeco Ryans said postgame. "The plays that Cam made running the football and also with the receiving touchdown. Cam has a very savvy way of slipping off of tacklers, making plays so I like where Cam was a tonight and he showed some playmaking ability which he has shown in the past, it's just a matter of Cam continuing to get reps and build off when he's done.
In 2022, he requested a trade from the Rams that was never granted. He played in just one game in 2023 with the Rams before they simply cut him. But now, with his injuries and poor fits behind him, he can move forward with the Texans and get a fresh new start for his career.Jeremy Brener is an editor, writer and social media manager for several Fan Nation websites.
