The Oakland Raiders are expected to re-sign veteran running back Doug Martin, a source confirmed to ESPN's Paul Gutierrez on Wednesday.
Martin's return comes after Raiders running back Isaiah Crowell tore his Achilles during a workout with the team Tuesday and was ruled out for the season, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday morning.
The team's move to bring back Martin was first reported by The NFL Network.
Martin showed he had something left in the tank last season, rushing for a team-high 723 yards after he replaced an injured Marshawn Lynch as the Raiders' bell-cow back in Week 8 last season.
