NAPA, Calif. Cody Eakin Jersey . -- Latavius Murray is counting on more help at running back leading to more big runs of his own this season for the Oakland Raiders.After topping 1,000 yards rushing and going to the Pro Bowl as an alternate while carrying almost the entire running load for the Oakland Raiders last season, Murray believes he can have an even more productive bigger year this season because the Raiders added rookie DeAndre Washington and other potential runners to the mix.Thats going to be the difference this year for me, having somebody to come in and carry the load for a little while and keep me fresh so when I come in I can do better things and have more of those explosive and big runs that I showed I can have, Murray said.Murray got little relief last season when he ranked fourth in the NFL among all backs with 680 offensive snaps. Recently released Roy Helu Jr. was second among Raiders halfbacks with 91 offensive snaps as Oakland was the only team in the NFL that did not have at least two halfbacks play 100 or more snaps.That heavy workload for a player for a player with just 82 carries his first two years in the NFL contributed to Murray having decreased production and late in the season.Murrays yards per carry dropped from 4.8 yards the first eight games to 3.3 over the second half of the season. It also appeared to take a toll in games as Murray averaged just 2.2 yards per carry in the fourth quarter, down more than 2 yards a carry from the first three quarters.I think over the course of the season that it just may catch up to you, he said. There are just going to be those days where obviously Im maybe not as fresh or explosive every single Sunday. Theyve done a great job of getting some other guys in there and showing me this training camp thats the plan for this season and to try to keep me fresh and keep me in a healthy state of mind so I can go out there and be the back I know I can be.Murray finished the season with 266 carries for 1,066 yards and six touchdowns. Oaklands second-leading rusher in 2015 was quarterback Derek Carr with 138 and fullback Jamize Olawale was the only other player to reach even 100 yards rushing for the season with 110.That glaring need for a capable backup runner led the Raiders to draft DeAndre Washington in the fifth round after he rushed for 1,492 yards and 14 touchdowns last season at Texas Tech.Washington has made a good first impression on the Raiders with strong play in camp and a productive exhibition debut. Washington gained 75 yards from scrimmage, juking safety Marqui Christian on a 25-yard run and adding a 32-yard reception to convert a third down.Thats why they brought me in, to create mismatches against opposing defenses, Washington said. On that play, they were guarding me with a d-end so I had to make my money on that play definitely.Washington wasnt the only back who has stood out this summer. George Atkinson had five carries for 97 yards and two scores against the Cardinals and undrafted free agent Jalen Richard has been impressive in practice but sat out the exhibition game with an injury.But with coach Jack Del Rio wanting the Raiders to be a dominant running team after struggling in that area last season, there figure to be plenty of carries to go around for Murray and whoever becomes his backup.I want to have more rushes, Del Rio said. I dont want him to have less. If anything, maybe a little more, but I want him to be more productive. We want other guys to be involved and be able to run it as well. Were working on becoming a team thats capable of running the ball well. We never really, truly established that last year.Game notes The Raiders broke camp Tuesday. They will resume practice at their facility in Alameda after playing an exhibition game at Green Bay on Thursday night. ... Oakland signed free agent TE Jake McGee to replace Gabe Holmes, who could be out for the season with an ankle injury.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLTomas Nosek Jersey . Anthony Davis had 31 points and 17 rebounds in his seventh straight game with more than 20 points, but that was only enough to keep the Pelicans competitive into the final minutes. Andrew Bogut had 10 points and 15 rebounds for Golden State, which rebounded from a loss a night earlier in Oklahoma City and snapped a two-game skid.

LOUIS -- Rookie Tavon Austin has missed another day of practice, lessening the odds hell be ready for the St. Defending champion Kurt Fearnley has finished second in the wheelchair racing section of the Chicago Marathon, centimetres behind constant rival Marcel Hug of Switzerland.The Australian was awarded the win before the result was overturned in Hugs favour following a photo-finish review.Hug and Fearnley broke from a pack of ten racers in the closing kilometre on Sunday, chasing towards the finish line side-by-side.The lead changed several times over the final 200m before Hug put in one final surge to win in a time of 1 hour 33 minutes, reversing last years one-two when Fearnley snatched victory over Hug.Ive had a few wins here and a couple of seconds now but I dont remember any race being as tight as this one, Fearnley said.Full credit to Marcel (Hug), hes been in outstanding form this year and near impossible to beat. II get one more crack in New York in a few weeks and hopefully Ill be leading through the finish line rather than 10cm before it. Cheap Golden Knights Jerseys. Its the third one-two finish in marathons this year for Hug and Fearnley, with todays result repeating last months Rio Paralympic Marathon finish as well as the London Marathons in April.Ive had a great year so far but unfortunately Marcels has been that bit better!
