Cam Akers: Cut from practice squad

The Vikings cut Akers from the practice Saturday.

Analysis:

Akers appeared in three games for the Vikings this season as a depth piece behind Jordan Mason and Zavier Scott while Aaron Jones was on injured reserve. In that time, the 26-year-old Akers rushed only five times for 19 yards, but he also completed one pass for 32 yards. Cornerback Dwight McGlothern replaces Akers on the practice squad.
