Akins caught one of two targets for five yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to Tennessee in Week 8.
Akins was one of several skill-position players whose production was subdued on a day when the offense gained just 161 yards. Akins had gained 154 yards on 10 catches, including a touchdown, over the last four weeks, but without a credible running game, quarterback Davis Mills seems unable to carry the offense.
