Following his touchdown in the end zone during an exhibition game, running back Cam Akers of the Houston Texans is feeling more like himself.
The Houston Texans have played one game in the NFL preseason of 2024. Even yet, they were unable to complete the Hall of Fame game against the Chicago Bears, which was called off due to inclement weather.
The main reason starters did not participate in the game was to prevent needless injury. on addition to providing opportunities for guys like running back Cam Akers, who would have otherwise been mired on the depth chart, this allowed rookies and inexperienced players to make an impression.
After suffering a second Achilles injury, Akers was able to take advantage of the chance to score a touchdown and regain some confidence. Just being able to play football was sufficient for Following the match, Akers declared,
“I just give all the praise to the Lord.” “I have two Achilles injuries. Most wouldn’t return to the pitch of play. Simply put, I’m glad to be here. In general, my first game back was a touchdown.
I’m fortunate. In the Texans’ first game back on the field following his most recent injury, the running back scored a four-yard receiving touchdown. In the end, the 25-year-old gained 13 yards on five carries and another 13 yards and a touchdown on two receptions.
Akers remarked, “It makes me feel like myself.” People will undoubtedly attempt to present a picture of me, the running back position, or the situation. But all I wanted to do was show people that, at my core, I still make plays when I get the chance. I’ll keep doing that.
Akers was given the chance to show what kind of game he still had as the Florida State product, while Joe Mixon was sidelined due to an injury. The running back has demonstrated a lot of promise when healthy and might bring something special to the position group.
