This season, too, there was a question mark on his availability as he missed pre-season games due to a soft-tissue injury during training camp. As of now, he is completely fine and will compete in the Week 4 game against the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night. Akers still hasn't experienced a stellar NFL season.
