Cam Akers has decided to stay with the Rams for the time being. After it seemed the two sides were headed for a split before the trade deadline, Akers has remained on the roster. On Thursday, he’ll return to practice with the team, according to Josina Anderson.
Akers initially wanted to move on from the team after the trade deadline had passed and he wasn’t moved, but he and Sean McVay had a “good conversation,” as the coach described it, on Wednesday and laid out Akers’ options. McVay left open the possibility of releasing Akers to give him a fresh start elsewhere, but he also gave him the option to stay with the Rams.
