Akers has 13 carries for 38 yards and one reception for nine yards in Sunday's win at Jacksonville.
Akers is active against Detroit in his first game since being acquired from Houston, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Really shines as a one-cut, inside power runner that can wear down a defense. A proven college workhorse, he has three-down ability with the speed and stamina to carry the running game and contribute as a viable backfield receiver. Undeterred by contact, he can punish tacklers with his thick frame and by using a straight-arm; he never quits on a play. Open field moves can free him at the second level. Must prioritize his pass-blocking skills and ball security as a pro.
Long Range Potential: Versatile, workhorse running back with upside.
