Week 2 was a rough week to be an NFL running back.
After a relatively injury free preseason, this past Sunday we saw major injuries to big named players such as Adrian Peterson, Arian Foster, Danny Woodhead, Jonathan Stewart, Thomas Rawls, Ameer Abdullah, and of course, Doug Martin.
After just seven carries and just over a quarter of action, Martin was lost for the game (and now perhaps the next three weeks) with a hamstring issue. It appears the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would like to keep him out until after their Week 6 bye, ensuring he has the time to heal and return at full strength for the remainder of the season.
