Murray (turf toe) practiced Wednesday, Scott Bair of CSN California reports.

Murray was spotted making cuts Wednesday in his return to the practice field, though it remains to be seen if the Raiders will list him as a limited or full participant.

Carey (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game at Green Bay, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Carey's hamstring injury stems from Week 2, which forced two DNPs and has lingered into the past three weeks of prep. Receiving a questionable designation has been the norm in advance of the past two games, and he even made inroads Sunday versus the Jaguars, grabbing nine carries for 50 yards. Expect him to serve in a complementary role to starter Jordan Howard yet again.

Bolden (knee) was listed as limited at Wednesday's practice.

Bolden's continued practice participation suggests that he could be available Sunday against the Steelers, but even if he is active for the contest, he's off the fantasy radar while working behind LeGarrette Blount and James White.

Martin suffered a setback with his hamstring injury last week and has no timetable for a return, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

For a team with a pair of playmakers -- Charles Sims (knee) and Vincent Jackson (knee) -- already on injured reserve, the development is yet another hard knock for the Buccaneers' offense. With Martin poised for a continuation of his multi-week absence, Jacquizz Rodgers will serve as the No. 1 running back for the foreseeable future, though reserve RBs Peyton Barber and Antone Smith could also get into the act moving forward.

Martin (hamstring) missed the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Roy Cummings of WFLA News Channel 8 Tampa Bay reports.

In the Buccaneers' first practice following their bye week, Martin is still rehabbing the hamstring injury that has ailed him since Week 2. He'll have two additional sessions to make his presence felt in advance of Sunday's game in San Francisco, but in the event he's ultimately unable to go, the backfield could again be the domain of Jacquizz Rodgers, who received a career-high 30 carries in Week 5 against the Panthers.

Cunningham received just 13 of 58 offensive snaps during Sunday's game against the Lions.

While he made the most of his opportunities (two rushes for nine yards and two receptions for 14 yards), the volume isn't there for Cunningham to be a viable fantasy asset. Todd Gurley caught all four of his targets for 39 yards, as he continues to be utilized more in the passing attack to Cunningham's detriment. At this point, it appears almost certain that it will take a Gurley injury for Cunningham to become fantasy relevant.

McFadden says he's ready to play after recovering from offseason elbow surgery, The Ft. Worth Star-Telegram reports. "Elbow is feeling great," McFadden said. "Just sitting back and waiting for my time to get back on the field. It's pretty much up to the coaches. I'm ready to go, so it's just based off their decision."

He's eligible to come off the NFI list this week, but with the Cowboys on bye in Week 7 they will be in no rush to try and find room for McFadden on the 53-man roster. Ezekiel Elliott's tremendous start means that the veteran would be a depth player at best anyway in Dallas, but with backfield injuries starting to pile up around the league, McFadden's best chance to see significant action this season might come via trade.

Drake did not see a target or record a carry in Sunday's win over the Steelers.

The Dolphins finally leaned on the run on Sunday, but Drake was on the outside looking in. Just three weeks ago, Drake saw a team-high 11 touches at running back against Cleveland and the third-round pick's stock appeared to be on the rise. He's only seen 15 snaps on offense in the three games since. Meanwhile, Jay Ajayi, on the heels of his 204-yard game, has risen firmly atop the depth chart with Arian Foster and Damien Williams positioned behind him.

Cunningham snatched two passes for 14 yards and carried the ball twice for nine yards in Sunday's loss to Detroit.

The running game was supposed to carry Los Angeles this season, with Cunningham serving a supplementary role behind last year's phenom, Todd Gurley. Instead, the Rams rank 31st in the league in yards per carry and 28th in yards per game. With less production from that side of the offense, there's less for Cunningham to do. He, in turn, is on pace for career lows in the rushing and receiving columns.

Ellington handled five carries for 25 yards during Monday's decisive win versus the Jets.

Ellington earned his first carries of the game in the midst of the Cardinals' first lengthy drive of the second half, but David Johnson otherwise handled all work out of the backfield until garbage time. As evidence, Johnson received 67 of the 77 offensive snaps, while Ellington picked up eight and Stepfan Taylor was given four. Such a breakdown won't equate to relevance anytime soon, but Ellington nonetheless appears to be the nominal backup to Johnson.
