The Buccaneers’ starting tailback reportedly wasn’t taking part in the club’s first on-field workout of the week.
Via Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times and other club beat writers, Doug Martin was not seen practicing on Wednesday. Martin is reportedly dealing with a knee/leg injury.
The 25-year-old Martin was limited to nine yards on nine carries in the Week One loss to Carolina.
Bobby Rainey and Mike James are the backups to Martin.
And Martin wasn’t the only key Bucs player not to be seen practicing on Wednesday. Left guard Logan Mankins (knee), tight end Austin Sefarian-Jenkins (foot) and defensive end Michael Johnson (ankle) were also sitting out, according to Matt Baker of the Tampa Bay Times.
The Buccaneers face the Rams in Tampa Bay on Sunday. After that, the Bucs play three consecutive road games.
