The Houston Texas are trading running back Cam Akers to the Minnesota Vikings, NFL Network reports.
The Texans are receiving conditional sixth- and seventh-round picks in return from the Vikings, per the report. The conditions on those picks weren’t initially reported.
The arrival of Akers in Minnesota adds depth behind starting running back Aaron Jones, who’s 29 years old and coming off an injury-shortened 2023 campaign with the Green Bay Packers. Jones suffered a hip injury in Minnesota’s Week 5 win over the New York Jets and carried a week-to-week designation through the team’s Week 6 bye.
Jones’ status for Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions is unclear. The Vikings also have third-year pro Ty Chandler in the running-back rotation.
