Doug Martin injury: Bucs running back out three weeks

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will have to miss Doug Martin about three weeks after a strained hamstring, according to Ian Rapoport. With the Tampa Bay Buccaneers having a bye week in week six, this means three missed games for the Bucs running back even if things don’t go entirely smoothly.

Following the results of his MRI, #Bucs RB Doug Martin is expected to be out about three weeks with a hamstring injury, source said.

Martin was the NFL’s second-leading rusher last season, and the Bucs built their offense around his ability to consistently accumulate yards on the ground.
