Doug Martin’s future with the Buccaneers grows murkier and murkier by the day, and heading into the off-season it appears that running back is going to be a big need for the team.
You have all heard the news by now, Doug was benched last week against the Saints, and it seemed like a forgone conclusion that he would be benched against the Panthers this upcoming week.
Now we know why.
The latest turn in the story is Martin’s excused absence from practice. According to Ian Rapoport, Martin is taking a sabbatical in order to sort out his personal affairs.
