Raiders second-year running back Latavius Murray underwent two surgeries on his ankle as a rookie, and only felt normal again in May, reports CSNBayArea.com. Murray feels "light years better" than last season and is poised to make an impact, the report said.
"It was a long road back," Murray said. "I'm so happy to be playing like myself again."
The 6-3, 225-pounder runs a 4.38 forty. He'll receive significant snaps if Maurice Jones-Drew or Darren McFadden get hurt.
"Now that he's back to being healthy, I think we're seeing a little bit more the type of back that we felt we were going to get when we drafted him," coach Dennis Allen said. "I think, to this point in camp and really through the first preseason game, he's done well."
