Buccaneers running back Doug Martin is expected to give it a go Week 2 against the Rams, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
Martin is considered questionable heading into the game, but is expected to play. Martin expressed a desire to bounce-back after running for just 9 yards Week 1. Coach Lovie Smith agreed, saying Martin remains the team's bellcow. "I've talked about how important Doug is to us," Smith said. "Just our running game in general, we were trying to get it going with all of our guys. Doug is our lead guy. We weren't able to for whatever reason this first game, but we'll stay committed to it."
