There's some more footage of him up on the Rams instagram account.
Looks to be moving well.
 
So great to see him moving like that. Trying to keep hopes in check but it ain't easy! :startstruck:

What’s the point of activating him if he’s not traveling this week? I assume there’s gotta be some reason just not sure what it could be

He was a non-football injury. I wonder if getting him paid is a factor.

I thought about that but players get paid still when hurt so can’t be that. Plus he was activated off the injured list already and had 3 weeks til he had to be actives to active roster

I don't know if the Rams were paying Akers, but they didn't have to. He got hurt working out away from the team.

https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-clarif...tual-obligation-if-players-are-injured-workin

"Injuries sustained while a player is working out "on his own" in a location other than an NFL facility are considered "Non-Football Injuries" and are outside the scope of a typical skill, injury and cap guarantee. Such injuries are also not covered by the protections found in paragraph 9 of the NFL Player Contract, meaning that clubs have no contractual obligation to provide salary continuation during the year in which the injury was sustained."

It sounds like it was retirement-related anyway.
 
Ya this is team doing player right.. IE pension and pay... I can't see him getting any "real" work this season, including playoffs. Hate to sound Mr. Negative here just not sure the medical technique to fix achilles is that good yet. Please prove me wrong Akers!

yeah, the ability to get blood flow into the tendon with stuff like infrared therapies and other issues which they couldn't do before has a MASSIVE effect on the ability for those tendons to heal. Couple that with improved surgical techniques, stem cell therapy and other things and we just don't know what's possible with these freaks of nature called professional football players.

I will eat some serious crow on Akers. I thought this was a season ender at the very least (Achilles injuries are death knells for running backs; I had an Achilles bruise, in summer camp, and I could barely walk on it.), and he's had an Adrian Peterson-like recovery, by simply not giving up, by working hard.

I tell you what: if Akers helps us win a Super Bowl this year, I'll probably order his jersey over a custom S-Jax jersey (same number and name as S-Jax, but Los Angeles colors; that is, if they do that? I don't know.) for my birthday.

Maybe he used BPC-157 and TB-500 peptides, I felt like Wolverine when I used them for my Shoulder and Elbows.
