Cam Akers is heading back to Minnesota.

NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero reports that the Texans have agreed to trade Akers to the Vikings. They also send a conditional 2026 seventh-round pick to Minnesota for a conditional 2026 sixth-round pick.

This is the second year in a row that the Vikings have traded for Akers. They acquired Akers last year in a deal with the Rams that saw the same draft picks switch sides.

Akers played six games for the Vikings before tearing his Achilles tendon and moved to the Texans as a free agent this season. Akers has 40 carries for 147 yards and a touchdown so far this season.

The Vikings have Aaron Jones as their top running back. He suffered a hip injury in week five, but was rumored to be back for this week’s game against the Lions. Ty Chandler and Myles Gaskin are the other backs on the 53-man roster.
