Latavius Murray already needed to sit out two games last season due to turf toe, then something was bothering him during the first Raiders-Broncos game in Week 9.
You couldn’t tell by looking at him, but during Murray’s best game in a trying season he injured the ankle that would require arthroscopic surgery right after the Vikings signed him to a three-year, $15 million deal in March.
Murray ran for 114 yards and three touchdowns while injuring his ankle against the vaunted Broncos defense. He would then average fewer than 3.0 yards per carry in four of the last seven games.
