ALAMEDA, Calif. — Oakland Raiders running back Latavius Murray, who is going through the NFL concussion protocol, is heartened by the outpouring of fan support in the wake of his 112-yard effort on four carries against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12.

Murray left the game after a head-on collision with Kurt Coleman, with Stefen Wisniewski jumping on the fumble that resulted.

“It’s a great feeling for people to want to see you out there and obviously I’ve always wanted to be out there and play and get the ball in my hands,” Murray said. “I’ve always said I’d be ready to go when my number is called. I still have room for improvement – the ball was on the ground out there, and I’ve got to clean that up.”

Murray, who scored on runs of 11 and 90 yards, said teammates seemed surprised that he had that type of speed at 6-feet-3, 225 pounds.

“I know the speed I have. I think I might confuse a lot of people, me being so tall, they may not know I have that kind of speed,” Murray said. “I think Charles (Woodson) said the same thing. But I know what I’m capable of and it was nice to pull off a big one like that.”

Having his first big success end after four carries was not easy.

“It definitely killed me,” Murray said. “I wanted to be back out there … when they want me back out there, I will be.”
