Minnesota's offense took a massive blow after its Week 2 loss to the Falcons. Starting QB J.J. McCarthy is out 2-4 weeks with an ankle sprain. On top of that, starting RB Aaron Jones suffered a hamstring injury and has been placed on the IR. Not ideal at this point in the season. The team has a capable backup RB in Jordan Mason. He proved that in 2024 when he was with the 49ers.

Akers, a 2020 second-round draft pick, signed with the Saints in June and has been competing for a backup spot behind Alvin Kamara. Akers was released as part of a wave of 14 transactions the Saints made ahead of Tuesday's roster cut deadline. "NFL a crazy place," Akers wrote on X on Monday, adding a crying face emoji to his post.
