Akins (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Akins was concussed on a helmet-to-helmet hit from safety Harrison Smith in Sunday's loss to the Vikings, which also led to an ejection for Smith. The third-year tight end, who is also dealing with an ankle injury, was coming into his own as Houston's top pass-catcher at his position, but Akins is still dealing with the aftereffects of Smith's hit and seems unlikely to suit up this weekend against the Jaguars. Akins will need to clear the concussion protocol before he can return to the field.
