On August 27, 2013, before the start of the regular season, Murray was placed on injured reserve, ending his rookie season before it started.[36]

2014 season

After being third on the depth chart for the first half of the season behind veterans Darren McFadden and Maurice Jones-Drew, the Raiders turned to Murray in Week 11 to provide a spark after ineffectiveness by McFadden and Jones-Drew all year. He responded by totaling 59 yards on seven carries against the San Diego Chargers.[37] On November 20, 2014, he finished with four carries for 112 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns, marking his first career touchdown against the Kansas City Chiefs.[38] It also marked the first rushing touchdown the Chiefs defense allowed all season and his 90-yard touchdown marked the longest rush for the Raiders that year. The solid performance by Murray contributed to the Raiders' first victory of the 2014 season.[39] After having success on his first three attempts, he suffered a concussion on his fourth carry and was taken out of the game.[40]

Murray returned to play against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 14 and finished the 24–13 victory with 23 carries for 76 rushing yards.[41] In the next game, he earned his first NFL start against the Chiefs and had 12 rushing attempts for 59 yards.[42] In Week 16, he gained 86 yards on 16 carries and had his second consecutive start against the Buffalo Bills.[43] Murray remained the starting running back for the last three games of the season and finished his first year with 82 carries, 424 rushing yards, and two rushing touchdowns in 15 games.[44]

2015 season

As expected, he began the season as the Raiders' starting running back and had 11 attempts for 44 yards in the season-opening 33–13 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.[45] Two weeks later, Murray ran for a career-high 139 yards and a touchdown on 26 carries in a 27–20 win over the Cleveland Browns.[46] On November 1, against the New York Jets, he had 113 rushing yards in the 34–20 victory.[47]

On Christmas Eve, Murray became the first Raider to reach the 1,000-yard mark rushing, since Darren McFadden did in 2010. His performance of 79 yards on 19 carries, 38 yards on five receptions and a rushing touchdown, helped edge a victory over the Chargers with a final score of 23–20 in overtime.[48][49]
