Ontheair By Josh Dubow The Associated Press ALAMEDA OaklandRaid- ers running back Latavius Murray has been cleared to play this week against San Francisco after missing the previous game with a con- cussion. Murray was officially cleared Tuesday morning and was back at practice on Wednesday as the Raid- ers (1-11) prepare to face the rival 49ers (7-5) on Sunday in Oakland. Murray gave the Raid- ers a big spark in their only win of the season, carrying four times for 112 yards and two touchdowns in a 24-20 victory over Kan- sas City on Nov. 20. Mur- ray left that game with a concussion and had to sit out last week's 52-0 loss at St. Louis as well before he was deemed healthy again this week. "I'm ready to show I can handle a workload of car- ries," Murray said. "It's no pressure for me at all. I know what I'm capable of. However many carries I get or however many plays I get I just have to go out there and be effective." Murray has made the most of his limited time. He missed his entire rookie season in 2013 with a foot injury suffered in the pre- season and began this year as the third-string run- ning back behind Maurice Jones-Drew and Darren McFadden. He carried the ball just six times the first nine games despite Oakland being on pace to be the worst rushing team in the NFL since 1946. Murray then got four carries for 43 yards against San Diego on Nov. 16 to earn a bigger role the following week against the Chiefs. Murray scored Oak- land's first touchdown of the game on an 11-yard run and then broke off a 90-yarder that was the lon- gest for an Oakland run- ning back since Bo Jackson went 92 yards back in 1989. "I know it's only a cou- ple of carries here, a cou- ple of catches here but you can't take it away from him," quarterback Derek Carr said. "The guy went out and did it. You have to be excited for him for that. ... I will be excited to see what he can do with more touches. Hopefully it's more 90-yard runs." Despite the success in limited action, interim coach Tony Sparano has not committed to Murray becoming the feature back despite the lack of produc- tion from McFadden and Jones-Drew. Murray has rushed for 155 yards on eight carries in his past two games. McFad- den has the same amount of rushing yards on his past 62 carries and is averaging 3.3 yards a run for the third straight season. Jones-Drew has just 90 yards on 41 car- ries this year. "He has eight carries," Sparano said. "I love the way Latavius runs the foot- ball. I like what I've seen. I've seen eight carries. I want to see more of him. I'm curious too. I'm curi- ous just like the fans are curious." Sparano said he has seen improvement each week by Murray and that if he had practiced as well early in the season as he has of late, he would have been play- ing more already. But Sparano said it took some time for Murray to get back into form after sitting out all last season. "This kid has just come along, come along, come along," Sparano said. "All of a sudden he has gotten his opportunities." NFL Raiders'Murraycleared to play a er missing time Running back at practice this week, set to face 49ers said. "We dug ourselves into this hole and we've got to climb out of it." On a defense that has been defined by its moving parts and injuries as much as its playmaking ability, it has been a tough year to es- tablish the momentum of recent seasons. Linebacker NaVorro Bowman contin- ues to rehab his surgically repaired left knee that has kept him out since the in- jury in January's NFC title game at Seattle, and the 21- day window for him to be activated will end Monday. Linebacker Patrick Wil- lis was lost for the season because of a troublesome left big toe that required surgery, while Aldon Smith spent the first nine games serving a suspension by the league. Nose tackles Glenn Dorsey and Ian Williams have dealt with injuries, too, with Williams going on season-ending injured reserve for the second straight year. Michael Wilhoite and Dan Skuta have emerged as reliable linebacker replace- ments, and rookies Chris Borland and Aaron Lynch have become key contribu- tors out of necessity at the position. "Just as a defense we're not going to fold in, we're not going to fold our tents up just based on what's happened," captain Jus- tin Smith said Wednesday. "Guys have responded. Young guys have played well. Hats off to those guys, they've kept the level up there." The 35-year-old Smith's body feels better at this stage of the season given he has regularly taken off Wednesday practices to rest his body, something the coaching staff sup- ports as an approach to ensure Smith is at his best on game days. He has 36 tackles, five sacks and two forced fumbles this season. Smith underwent sur- gery for a partially torn left triceps following the 2012 Super Bowl season, then dealt with a nagging shoul- der issue much of last year. He hasn't decided whether he will return for a 15th NFL season next year. "I haven't given it any thought," Smith said. "It will be something to think about after the season." He has more pressing matters, such as chas- ing down rookie Raiders quarterback Derek Carr on Sunday. Smith and the 49ers realize Oakland will be looking to restore some respectability on the heels of a 52-0 loss at St. Louis. Two key members of San Francisco's 2013 secondary are now with the Raiders — cornerbacks Tarell Brown and Carlos Rogers. Smith praised the new secondary featuring safety Antoine Bethea and said what makes it work with new faces is keeping things simple and basic execution. "It's a credit to these guys coming in, stepping up and making it impor- tant to them. That's the biggest thing," Smith said. "The level's been raised here on how we play de- fense. These guys came in and they didn't want to see that bar go down, and it hasn't." When it comes to the offensive struggles, Smith says, "I stay on my side, I stay with what I know." "We're just going to rely on our offense to come around," Reid said. "We need them to win these games, they need us. We've just got to count on each other." Notes: • LT Joe Staley didn't participate in a practice that was moved up several hours to late morning be- cause of steady rain. Coach Jim Harbaugh said he was throwing up. • RT Anthony Davis, who has missed the last two games nursing a con- cussion, was set to do some cardio work and weightlift- ing. 49ers FROM PAGE 1 Kelly went to the Philadel- phia Eagles. Led by mobile Heis- man-hopeful quarterback Marcus Mariota, Oregon is ranked atop the con- ference this year for the eighth-straight season with an average of nearly 46 points per game. The Ducks average 539.5 yards in total offense, also first in the league. Arizona is ranked fourth in the Pac- 12 in both categories, with 36.7 points and 481.2 total yards per game. Some have said that Ro- driguez's knowledge of the offense — he helped invent it, after all — is why the Wildcats have had success over the Ducks in their past two meetings. Arizona visited Eugene in early October and came away with a 31-24 victory. It was the lowest point output for the high-flying Ducks this season. Arizona held the Ducks to 144 yards rushing and linebacker Scooby Wright sealed it when he sacked Mariota and stripped him of the ball for a rare turn- over to stuff Oregon's final drive. Last season when Ore- gon visited Tucson, Mari- ota was intercepted on the first play from scrimmage and it went downhill for the Ducks from there in a 42-16 loss. It was Oregon's second loss of the season, knocking the Ducks out of both the Pac-12 champion- ship and snapping a streak of four straight BCS bowl bids. With just the one loss to Arizona this season, Ore- gon is No. 2 in the College Football Playoff rankings. With a victory on Friday, the Ducks will undoubt- edly have one of the four spots in the first playoffs. Arizona, which vaulted this week to No. 7 in the CFP rankings, earned its spot by winning the tight Pac-12 South, after UCLA lost to Stanford and the Wildcats defeated Arizona State in the final week of the regular season. Earlier this week, Ro- driguez suggested that in the end, it might not mat- ter which offense is better. It may come down to the defenses. "I like to play teams that aren't very good, but when you play this game you are going to play someone re- ally good," he said. "The thing about Oregon is that we are very similar philo- sophically offensively. They are going to play fast, and their defense and our de- fense is used to seeing it."
