A classic case of what's considered a non-football injury (NFI) in the NFL. Cam Akers isn't eligible for IR or PUP. Going on NFI list would mean Rams don't have to pay Akers' $890,593 2021 base salary. Spending the season on NFI means no year of service for free agency either. https://t.co/or2TD02LKW
