Murray had 12 carries for 59 rushing yards and two catches on six targets for 17 receiving yards Sunday against the Chiefs.

Murray led the Raiders' backfield again, ceding just two carries to Darren McFadden (13 yards) and two to Maurice Jones-Drew (six yards). It doesn't get any easier in Week 16 against the Bills, who are allowing the eighth-fewest rushing yards per game this season.

Murray (concussion) had 23 carries for 76 yards and caught 2-of-2 targets for nine yards in Sunday's 24-13 win over the 49ers.

Murray didn't break off any long runs, but he got practically all the work on the ground for the Raiders, as Darren McFadden had just four rushes for five yards. Next week, he'll face the Chiefs, who he torched for 112 yards and two touchdowns on just four carries in Week 12.

Murray (concussion) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

As expected, Murray is back in action Sunday, and though he may work in some form of a rotation with Darren McFadden and Maurice Jones-Drew on Sunday, his impressive Week 12 showing (112 yards and two touchdowns on four carries against the Chiefs) figures to lead to an expanded workload Sunday, thus making Murray the upside play in Oakland's Week 14 backfield.

Murray (concussion) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

The second-year back passed league protocol early in the week and was able to practice in full both Thursday and Friday, eliminating any doubt as to his availability for Sunday. Prior to suffering the injury in Week 12, Murray rushed for 112 yards and two touchdowns on just four carries against the Chiefs. The performance has earned Murray a larger share of the touches, but interim coach Tony Sparano suggested he won't take on a true workhorse role just yet, saying Murray is "a guy you have to continue to rotate." Further, CSNBayArea.com reports that Murray has continued to take "lower-team reps" in practice this week, so while it would seem to go against all common sense if he didn't see the lion's share of the touches over Darren McFadden and Maurice Jones-Drew, common sense doesn't always apply with the Raiders.

Murray (concussion) practiced fully Thursday, the Raiders' official site reports.

There's little doubt that Murray will play Sunday against the 49ers, with his potential workload in that contest the more pressing question. For his part, coach Tony Sparano suggests that "for right now, Latavius is a guy who's going to be a guy you have to continue to rotate." That said, while Murray may work in tandem with Darren McFadden and Maurice Jones-Drew on Sunday, his impressive Week 12 showing (112 yards and two touchdowns on four carries against the Chiefs) will almost assuredly lead to an expanded workload Sunday, thus making Murray the upside play in this weekend's Oakland backfield.

Murray (concussion) has been cleared to play against the 49ers on Sunday, insidebayarea.com reports.

Meanwhile, NFL.com relays that as impressive as Murray has been with limited touches of late, coach Tony Sparano isn't quite ready to declare Murray as the Raiders' "workhorse" back just yet, with Sparano suggesting that the team plans to use the running back as part of a rotation in his return to action. That said, given the modest production that veterans Darren McFadden and Maurice Jones-Drew have provided the 1-11 Raiders this season, we suspect that there's a solid chance that said rotation will be led by Murray, given his highly-promising effort in Week 12 against the Chiefs, in which he recorded 112 rushing yards (including a 90-yard run) and two TDs on four carries.

Murray (concussion), who has been cleared to play in advance of Sunday's game against the 49ers, was limited at practice Wednesday, Steve Corkran of the Contra Costa Times reports.

More on Murray's status as the week progresses, but if he is able to continue to practice setback-free, we suspect that he'll have an opportunity to spark the Raiders' Week 14 rushing attack on Sunday. The last time Murray played, he opened eyes with a highly-promising effort in Week 12 against the Chiefs, which saw him record 112 rushing yards (including a 90-yard run) and two scores on four carries.

Murray (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, csnbayarea.com reports.

With Murray having yet to gain full clearance under the NFL's concussion protocol, per sfgate.com, the running back was held out of Friday's practice. At 1-10, the Raiders have little incentive to rush Murray back, though when he is cleared to play, his strong showing in Week 12 should lead to an expanded role in the Oakland offense. In the meantime, look for the Raiders to roll with a rushing combo of Darren McFadden, Marcel Reece and Maurice Jones-Drew, with neither option a high-percentage Week 13 play.

Murray (concussion) remained limited at practice on Thursday, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

As the final practice of the week approaches, Murray has yet to pass all of his concussion tests, and thus remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams. "He still has one step to go, we're not there yet," coach Tony Sparano said Thursday. An expanded role presumably awaits Murray the next time he plays, but his Week 13 status hinges on Friday's developments, before and after practice.

Murray (concussion) was present for Thursday's practice, Jerry McDonald of the Oakland Tribune reports.

Murray was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday, and while his continued participation Thursday is a positive indicator, it is unclear at this stage whether or not the running back has cleared the final stage of the NFL's concussion protocol.

Murray, who was limited at practice Wednesday, has one more step to clear in the NFL's concussion protocol, Vic Tafur of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Given that he's progressed to within one step of clearance at this stage of the week, Murray's chances of suiting up Sunday against the Rams look solid. If he does suit up this weekend, Murray should have an opportunity to see an expanded role in the Oakland backfield, after sparking the team's running game last Thursday, by recording 112 yards and two touchdowns on just four carries.

Murray (concussion) practiced Wednesday, ibabuzz.com reports.

It's unclear at this stage whether Murray has been fully cleared to play this weekend, but his presence on the field Wednesday suggests that he is progressing through the NFL's concussion protocol and thus seems on track to suit up Sunday against the Rams in the absence of any setbacks. In such a scenario, we'd expect the Raiders to give Murray a chance to build off his impressive Week 12 showing, a potential outcome that would make the running back worthy of Week 13 lineup consideration.

Murray (concussion) has been able to exercise early this week, ESPN's Adam Caplan reports.

It's not exactly clear where Murray stands in the NFL's concussion protocol, and it's too early to determine if he will be able to play Sunday against the Rams. However, it is a good sign that he is working out, as he likely would not be able to if he was still dealing with intense concussion symptoms. Be sure to keep tabs on Murray's status over the next few days if you are considering using him in your fantasy lineup this week.

Murray, who suffered a concussion against the Chiefs this past Thursday, did not practice Monday, ibabuzz.com reports.

Though Murray had only four carries before his exit Thursday, he totaled 112 rushing yards (including a 90-yard run) and two touchdowns in the game, presumably earning an expanded workload in the Oakland offense moving forward. Assuming he gains clearance to play in advance of Sunday's game against the Rams, we'd expect the Raiders to give Murray a chance to build off his impressive Week 12 showing, a potential outcome that makes the running back one of this week's most sought after waiver/FAAB pickups.

Raiders interim coach Tony Sparano said Friday that Murray is undergoing a battery of concussion tests, Vic Tafur of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The 24-year-old was instrumental in the Raiders earning their first win Thursday, although he was knocked out of the game with a concussion on just his fourth carry. He rushed for 112 yards and two scores against a Chiefs team that had not allowed a rushing touchdown on the season coming into the game. While Murray will be afforded some extra time to recover from the injury before Week 13 and has earned a greater share of the workload after Thursday's performance, he'll need to be cleared through league protocol and by an independent neurologist before returning to action.

Murray (concussion) will not return to Thursday's game against the Chiefs.

Murray made the most of his expanded role in the early going, with 112 yards and two scores on four carries, thanks in large part to a 90-yard touchdown. He quite clearly proved that he deserves to stay heavily involved in the offense, but he'll now need to make it through the NFL's concussion protocol before making another appearance. Once he's healthy, Murray should at least split the touches with Darren McFadden, who continues to underwhelm.

Murray left Thursday's game shortly before halftime to be evaluated for a concussion, and he is questionable to rejoin the contest, B.J. Kissel Of KCChiefs.com reports.

Murray exploded for 112 rushing yards and two touchdowns before suffering the injury, with his first half highlighted by a 90-yard scoring scamper. Meanwhile, Darren McFadden finished the half with just six carries for 10 yards and one reception for two yards. Though his role is clearly expanding, Murray will still have to miss the rest of Thursday's game if his concussion is confirmed.

Murray got more work than normal in practice this week, ESPN's Adam Caplan reports.

Despite carrying the ball just four times in the second half of last Sunday's loss to San Diego, Murray finished with a team-high 43 rushing yards and added 16 yards on three catches. The winless Raiders appear set to finally give Murray an extended audition, with Caplan suggesting he'll likely split time with Darren McFadden against the Chiefs on Thursday. Maurice Jones-Drew, who played just 10 snaps last week, figures to play a minimal role yet again.

Murray rushed for a team-high 43 yards on four carries and caught three passes on four targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Chargers.

With the plodding combination of Darren McFadden and Maurice Jones-Drew proving wholly ineffective again in the first two quarters, the Raiders finally turned to Murray for a spark in the second half. The 24-year-old Murray ended up leading the Raiders' position players with 59 total yards, 23 of which came on one rush attempt. McFadden, on the other hand, hasn't had a 20-plus yard run since Sept. 15, 2013. The now 0-10 Raiders figure to increase Murray's usage in the weeks ahead, making him a decent speculative add for those seeking production at the running back position.

Murray had just three carries for one yard in Sunday's loss to New England.

Oakland was competitive in the game, so there were opportunities, at least in theory, to give Murray some work. Meanwhile, Darren McFadden once again shouldered the load in Maurice Jones-Drew's absence, carrying the ball 18 times for 59 yards.
