DeMarco Murray dressed for practice Monday night at St. Thomas Sports Park, but he did not practice for the Tennessee Titans, according to WKRN.com.

It’s the fourth straight practice he’s missed since tweaking a hamstring. Murray did warm up with his teammates, but then moved to an adjacent field where he worked on some resistance training.

Head coach Mike Mularkey said Monday was a good sign, and he is hoping Murray will respond well and be ready to practice Tuesday  afternoon.

Murray is entering his seventh NFL season and second with the Titans. He won the AFC rushing title in 2016 with 1,287 yards, and while he would like to play in the preseason, he says it is not an absolute necessity for him.

The Titans open the preseason Saturday night in New York against the Jets. It is uncertain if Murray will play, but Mularkey said quarterback Marcus Mariota will.
