Rams RB Cam Akers is out Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks, according to the team's official injury report.

This was expected and is now official. Darrell Henderson and Malcolm Brown will man the Rams backfield.

Rams RB Cam Akers has a high ankle sprain, Sean McVay says, which will cause him to miss this next game, at least.

Akers had his best game two Thursdays ago and even led the Rams backfield last week in a dreadful effort against the Rams, but he didn't make it out of Week 15 healthy. Akers is already out for Week 16 and it wouldn't be shocking if he misses Week 17 as well, but that's to be determined. Henderson seems likely to get a bigger workload but Brown will be involved as well in a matchup against the Seahawks.

Without Cam Akers in the mix, the Rams will likely roll with Darrell Henderson as the starter against the Seahawks, with Malcolm Brown also involved. Henderson is the preferred add this week with Brown more of a desperation play.

Rams RB Cam Akers is questionable to return to Sunday’s game against the Jets with an ankle injury.

Akers had his ankle rolled up on during a run in the first half. Darrell Henderson has temporarily replaced Akers with the Rams surprisingly trailing the Jets early.

Update: Akers has been taped up and is returning to the game.

Rams head coach Sean McVay told reporters Friday that he would not commit to RB Cam Akers as their starting/feature back going forward. McVay also pointed to the productiveness of Darrell Henderson and Malcolm Brown in other games, according to Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.

Okay Sean. We all saw what Akers did last night. Anything less than the starter/feature role for Akers would be negligence of the highest order. But then again, trusting NFL coaches to do the right thing can be difficult to expect. Do not worry about Akers being usurped by Henderson or Brown short of a major disappointment by the rookie.

Rams running back Cam Akers was removed from the team's injury report and will play Thursday against the Patriots.

The Rams ramped up Akers's practice participation throughout the week, going from no practice on Monday to a full session today. His removal from the injury report means he should be ready to play without restrictions against the Patriots tomorrow night. Sean McVay's running back usage can be perplexing, but Akers looks like a decent RB2/flex in Week 14.

The Rams did not practice today, but released an injury report as if they held a full workout:

RB Cam Akers (Shoulder) - DNP
DL Michael Brockers (Neck) - DNP
OLB Terrell Lewis (Knee) - Limited

As the tweet said, Akers appearing on the injury report with a shoulder injury is a bit of a surprise. Thiry went on to say HC Sean McVay will be available again Tuesday night so we may not have another update on Akers until then. Akers didn't start, but led the way in touches last week, scoring a TD for the third-straight week. Henderson could see more work on a short week in what looks to be a tough matchup at home against New England.
