The Minnesota Vikings have traded with the Houston Texans to reacquire running back Cam Akers, reuniting him with head coach Kevin O’Connell. This marks the second consecutive year that the Vikings have traded for Akers, sending a conditional late-round draft pick to the Texans in exchange. The move comes amid questions regarding the health of Aaron Jones, as the Vikings bolster their running back depth. Both teams are reportedly pleased with the trade, as it addresses their respective needs.
