Doug Martin News: Martin (shoulder) hasn't officially been ruled out for Sunday's game against Seattle, but head coach Greg Schiano admitted Thursday that the running back's chances of playing are getting increasingly slim, Jenna Laine of 1040 AM reports.

Martin (shoulder) hasn't officially been ruled out for Sunday's game against Seattle, but head coach Greg Schiano admitted Thursday that the running back's chances of playing are getting increasingly slim, Jenna Laine of 1040 AM reports.

While there are indications of progress from Martin, it doesn't sound like he'll be ready to roll in Week 9. For now, it seems as though stashing him away on the bench to see if he can eventually get back in the coming weeks is still a potentially worthwhile endeavor.
