Marcel Reece likely to 'recede into the background'

Chances are Marcel Reece will again recede into the background with leading rusher Rashad Jennings having recovered from a concussion.

Having played in less than half of the Raiders' offensive snaps this season, Reece by necessity was on the field for all but two snaps in a 37-27 loss to the New York Jets.

The result was 19 carries, a career high 123 yards rushing, acknowledgment of a job well done and likely an immediate future of being shuttled on and off the field depending on the down, distance and play call when the Raiders play the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday at O.co Coliseum.

Yet Reece has no illusions of morphing from versatile fullback to lead tailback.
