Cam Akers is headed to Minnesota.
The Viking acquired the running back from the Texans on Tuesday in exchange for a conditional sixth- and seventh-round pick in 2026,Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports
Ty Chandler struggled as the primary running back in Jones’ place after he left the game against the Jets, running for just 30 yards on 14 carries. He played under him when O’Connell was the offensive coordinator with the Rams in 2020 and 2021, and then again last season when the Vikings acquired Akers in another midseason trade.
He started two games in place of the injured Joe Mixon, rushing for 95 yards in both of those games combined. The Vikings are looking to stay undefeated when they take on divisional rival Lions in Minnesota on Sunday.
