Seahawks elevate running backs Cam Akers, Velus Jones to active roster for Super Bowl LX
Our Summary
The Seattle Seahawks have bolstered their running back lineup for Super Bowl LX against the New England Patriots by elevating Cam Akers and Velus Jones Jr. from the practice squad to the active roster. This move comes in response to the absence of Zach Charbonnet, who is sidelined with a knee injury. Kenneth Walker III is set to start, with George Holani serving as his backup. Akers, who has yet to carry the ball for the Seahawks this season, brings prior Super Bowl experience from his time with the Rams. Jones was last active in Seattle's divisional round victory over the 49ers, recording six carries for 10 yards.
