Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back will not be playing on Sunday according to FOX Sports’ Jay Glazer and Tom Krasniqi of 620 WDAE in Tampa Bay. Martin is battling a knee injury. The Bucs will start Bobby Rainey in Martin’s place against the St. Louis Rams in the late afternoon game.

The Rams have a good run defense so it will be interesting to see how the Bucs’ run game does without Martin.
