DeMarco Murray practices on Monday, does not have reason for Sunday's absence from team drills

DeMarco Murray returned to a normal practice load on Monday, but he did not have an explanation for his conspicuous absence from team drills on Sunday. He said that his lack of participation was a coach's decision, and it was not related to an injury.

"You’re always upset when you don’t get the chance to go out there and compete and take the pressure off the other guys,” Murray said. “Obviously, as a competitor I want to be out there, but it didn’t happen.”

Murray said he did not ask for explanation.

“I just do what I’m told,” he said.
