Rams running back Cam Akers will not play Sunday against the Carolina Panthers after missing multiple days of practice, coach Sean McVay said Friday.

He returned in-season from a torn Achilles in 2021, after suffering the injury during an off-site workout before training camp that year. “Out of respect for the situation, I want to keep it internal. Akers missed time on Thursday due to “personal” reasons, according to the team’s practice report.

Coach Sean McVay said Friday that the third-year running back would not practice and will be out of Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers at SoFi Stadium.

Running back Cam Akers will not play for the Los Angeles Rams Sunday because of personal reasons, while his future with the team suddenly is clouded.

In 19 career games (seven starts), Akers has 779 yards rushing on 201 carries with three touchdowns and 16 receptions for 151 yards. Akers, 23, has 151 yards rushing on 51 carries with one touchdown in five games (two starts) this season.

"We'll always explore options if we feel like there's chances to upgrade," McVay said. With Henderson and Malcolm Brown on the active roster and Ronnie Rivers on the practice squad, the Rams do have choices for potential replacements.

He recovered remarkably quickly from the Achilles injury to rejoin Los Angeles for the regular-season finale and its playoff run to a championship. Edwards is on injured reserve after returning last Sunday from a one-week absence with an apparent concussion, only to take another hit to the head against the Cowboys. After a one-year stint with the Miami Dolphins, he returned to LA last month. He has just 86 yards after contact and has broken only one tackle all season. Akers played in each of the Rams’ first five games this season, but is averaging just 3.0 yards per carry after gaining 33 yards on 13 attempts last week against Dallas. That’s probably not something that’s at the forefront.” Akers has been unproductive in the ground game by most statistical measures while running behind an offensive line missing three starters and two backups due to injury. “He’s good,” said running back Darrell Henderson, who is likely to get most of the Rams' workload in Akers' absence. McVay publicly called for a better effort earlier this season from Akers, who responded with mild surprise and acceptance. McVay also said the team wanted to keep it “in-house,” later adding that the personal reasons cited for Akers' absence are “more like we're dealing with things internally. The Rams (2-3) have lost back-to-back games. We’re going to do this for him.”

I will never claim to be that, but I always do try to learn from the mistakes and make sure that you use both the good and the bad to make sure that you’re doing what’s best for everybody that you’re responsible for as it relates to the decision making and some of those different things.” It’s unclear whether a team would be willing to trade for his contract, given the overall questions about his performance this season. But I do know that dealing with things clear, open, and honest, and in the best way that you think, based on those values foundationally that kind of guide our everyday approach and behavior have helped. The run game truly does take all 11, but there’s a lot of layers to it and that’s kind of where we’re at with it.” You’ve got to be able to deal with it the best way that you know how, leaning on the resources, asking the right questions, being willing to listen then learn and then you can lead and make decisions the right way. “I don’t know,” McVay said. There’s a lot of instances where you’re saying, ‘I haven’t really been here, who can I lean on to help provide some perspective and some context?’ That’s what you try to do in any of these types of situations. “Like I said, just want to kind of want to be able to . hopefully you guys understand and respect that we want to just be able to keep things internal right now.” “What I’ve been very fortunate with, going into the sixth year, I think you realize how blessed and fortunate you’ve been where those things have been at a minimum,” McVay said. “It’s one of those deals where, like I said, kind of want to be able to just keep things internally, but as it relates to just the football stuff, it is certainly not all on our running backs,” McVay said when asked about a need for urgency has led to Akers being ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Panthers. If it’s obvious they’re moving on, it becomes harder to get maximum value.
