Signs with Seattle The Seahawks signed Akers on Wednesday, Brady Henderson of ESPN reports.

Impact Akers is headed to Seattle after having been cut from Minnesota's practice squad last week. The 26-year-old carried the ball five times for 19 yards in three appearances with the Vikings. He should serve as the Seahawks' No. 3 running back for Sunday's matchup against his former team, as George Holani is doubtful with a hamstring injury.

Cut from practice squad The Vikings cut Akers from the practice Saturday.

Impact Akers appeared in three games for the Vikings this season as a depth piece behind Jordan Mason and Zavier Scott, while Aaron Jones was on injured reserve. In that time, the 26-year-old rushed only five times for 19 yards, but also completed one pass for 32 yards. Cornerback Dwight McGlothern replaces Akers on the practice squad.

How the Vikings are preparing for Lamar Jackson and his singular skill set There have been many efforts to mimic some of Jackson’s unique movements, one of them involving running back Cam Akers playing quarterback.

Back to practice squad Akers reverted to the Vikings' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction report.

Impact Akers played just one offensive snap during the Vikings' 21-17 win over the Browns on Sunday, but he made the most of that opportunity by throwing a 32-yard pass to Josh Oliver on a trick play, where the sixth-year running back was used as a wildcat quarterback. Akers has already been elevated to Minnesota's active roster three times, which is the maximum allowed for a season; he would have to be signed to the active roster in order to play for the Vikings for the rest of the season, which could happen with Aaron Jones (hamstring) on injured reserve.

Throws TD pass Akers threw a 32-yard touchdown pass on his only snap on offense while being used as a wildcat quarterback in Sunday's win over Cleveland in London.

Impact Akers threw a perfect pass to Josh Oliver on a trick play. Akers was a successful high school quarterback and threw several halfback passes in college. Aside from the trick play, Akers had little role on offense as he served as the team's No. 3 running back for the third straight week behind Jordan Mason and Zavier Scott, with Aaron Jones (hamstring) still on injured reserve.

Vikings place center Ryan Kelly on injured reserve with concussion

The Minnesota Vikings placed center Ryan Kelly on injured reserve after he sustained his second concussion of the season in last week’s loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers

OCTOBER 4, 2025 • Associated Press

Elevated to active roster The Vikings elevated Akers from their practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Browns.

Impact Akers will serve as the team's No. 3 running back for the third straight week behind Jordan Mason and Zavier Scott with Aaron Jones (hamstring) still on injured reserve. This is the final time Minnesota will be able to elevate Akers, and the team will have to sign him to the active roster in order for him to appear in another game.

Reverts to practice squad Akers reverted to Minnesota's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Akers was elevated ahead of Sunday's Week 4 loss to the Steelers in Dublin, Ireland. The veteran running back didn't log any offensive snaps in that contest, though he did play three snaps on special teams. With Aaron Jones (hamstring) on IR, Akers could get another gameday elevation this coming Sunday in Cleveland, though he seems to be a distant third on the Vikings' RB depth chart behind Jordan Mason and Zavier Scott.

Limited to special teams Akers played just three snaps, all on special teams, in Sunday's loss to Pittsburgh in Dublin.

Impact Akers was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster the day before the game to serve as the No. 3 running back. Last week Akers got five carries just days after he was signed as a free agent which suggested he could perhaps challenge Zavier Scott for the backup running back role while Aaron Jones (hamstring) is sidelined. However, Scott played 29 snaps on offense and had two carries and six receptions (one for a touchdown) in Dublin, showing he's clearly ahead of Akers on the depth chart.

Up from practice squad The Vikings elevated Akers from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers in Dublin, Ireland.

Impact With Aaron Jones (hamstring) on injured reserve, Akers made his season debut last Sunday against the Bengals as a practice-squad elevation, ranking third in snap share (12 percent) behind Jordan Mason (60 percent) and Zavier Scott (28 percent). All of Akers' five carries (for 19 yards) occurred in garbage time during the 48-10 win, so if the Week 4 matchup with Pittsburgh is a close one, he may not see the field outside of giving Mason and Scott a breather, barring injuries.

Reverts to practice squad Akers reverted to the Vikings' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Akers played 11 snaps (seven on offense, four on special teams) during the Vikings' 48-10 win over the Bengals on Sunday. He finished with five carries for 19 yards and failed to log in his lone target, but all of that work came in garbage time as he worked behind Jordan Mason and Zavier Scott. With Aaron Jones (hamstring) and Ty Chandler (knee) both on injured reserve, Akers is a top candidate to be elevated to the active roster for the Vikings' Week 4 clash against the Steelers on Sunday at Crone Park in Dublin, Ireland.

Gets five carries in blowout win Akers had five carries for 19 yards a did not have a reception on his only target in Sunday's win over the Bengals.

Impact Akers was elevated to the active roster just five days after he was signed as a free agent. Zavier Scott got more work as Jordan Mason's backup with Aaron Jones (hamstring) sidelined, and Akers only got his action (seven snaps on offense) late in the fourth quarter. However, Akers getting snaps, even in a blowout, so quickly after he was signed shows he could be in the mix to be the primary backup as early as Week 4 against Pittsburgh.
