  • Sacks Mahomes twice

    Martin made two tackles (two solo), including 2.0 sacks, during Washington's loss to the Chiefs on Monday.

    Analysis: Martin's performance was one of the few bright spots for the Commanders during Monday's loss, as the veteran defensive end brought his statistical totals across eight regular-season appearances to 20 tackles (nine solo), including 3.5 sacks. The eighth-year veteran, now on the seventh team of his NFL career, is already within striking distance of tallying new career-best totals across the board in his inaugural campaign with the Commanders. He'll work to keep up his momentum Week 9 at home…read more

  • Heading to Washington

    Martin agreed to a one-year, $3-million deal with the Commanders on Thursday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: The defensive end played on a one-year deal in 2024 as well, with the Bears, recording 15 tackles (nine solo), including 3.0 sacks. Martin played on 213 defensive snaps and on 203 special teams snaps, the fourth season in a row in which he saw nearly as many special teams snaps as defensive snaps. The 2018 sixth-round pick of the Seahawks has never made more than 23 tackles in a season, and he's now landed one-year deals in each of the last three offseasons.

  • Three sacks in 2024

    Martin played 15 snaps but recorded no stats in the Bears' 24-22 win over the Packers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Martin saw his first game action with the Bears in Week 8. On the season, the seven-year veteran tallied 15 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks. The defensive end has not posted more than 23 stops or 4.0 sacks in a season as he heads to unrestricted free agency in his age-29 season.

  • Will play vs. Washington

    Martin (toe) is active for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

    Analysis: Martin will make his 2024 regular-season debut Sunday after missing the first six games due to a toe injury. The 2018 third-round pick will provide depth at defensive end behind starters Montez Sweat and DeMarcus Walker.

  • Activated from IR

    The Bears activated Martin (toe) from injured reserve Saturday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Martin may be able to suit up for Sunday's road game against Washington, now that he's been removed from IR. The veteran defensive end has missed the entire regular season to this point due to a toe injury sustained late August, and once back on the field he's expected to contribute in a depth role.

  • Questionable for Week 8

    Martin (toe) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Commanders.

    Analysis: Martin has yet to suit up this season after being placed on injured reserve in late August due to a toe issue. However, he was designated to return Oct. 9 and logged a full week or practice, giving himself a chance to suit up in Week 8. Martin must still be activated to the Bears' active roster in order to play Sunday.

  • Won't play vs. Jaguars

    Chicago will not activate Martin (toe) from its injured reserve list for Sunday's game against Jacksonville, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Analysis: Martin managed a full practice Friday, but apparently he'll need to sit out at least one more game before he's ready for game action. His next chance to suit up will be in Week 8 at Washington.

  • Practicing fully but still on IR

    Martin (toe) logged a full practice Friday but remains on injured reserve and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Martin has logged three full practices in the lead-up to the Week 6 London game against the Jaguars, but he will need to be officially activated from injured reserve prior to Sunday's game in order to suit up. If Martin plays, he would provide edge depth for a Chicago pass rush that will be looking to generate extra pressure to make up for a depleted Bears secondary that will be without starting safety Jaquan Brisker (concussion) and likely without starting cornerback Tyrique Stevenson (calf)…read more

  • Returns to practice

    Martin (toe) was designated to return from injured reserve and was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's practice estimate.

    Analysis: Martin was placed on IR before the first game of the season and has had his 21-window to practice with the team opened. Although he'll still need to be moved to the 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, he appears on track to be, with the Bears estimating he could have practiced in full Wednesday. Further clarity on his status for Week 6's London matchup will likely come closer to kickoff Sunday.

  • Opening season on IR

    Martin (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve by the Bears on Tuesday, Larry Mayer of the team's official website reports.

    Analysis: Martin failed to log any stats in the preseason after signing with the Bears in March, suffering an undisclosed injury at some point. The defensive lineman will now be forced to miss at least Chicago's first four games of the regular season before he'd be eligible to return Week 5 against the Panthers on Oct. 6.

  • Limited role in season opener

    Martin had one assisted tackle in Sunday's loss to Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Martin played on 10 of the defense's 70 snaps as he'll have a limited reserve role on the defensive line. Martin played in 13 games with the Broncos and Jets last season, recording 14 tackles, including 2.5 sacks, while forcing a fumble in those contests.

    Martin and the Texans agreed on a one-year contract Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Martin played in 13 games with the Broncos and Jets last season, recording 14 tackles, including 2.5 sacks, while forcing a fumble in those contests. He's likely slated to serve as a depth option behind the likes of Christian Harris and Denzel Perryman at outside linebacker with the Texans.

  • Let go by Denver

    The Broncos released Martin on Wednesday.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old appeared in 13 games between the Jets and Broncos last season, logging 14 tackles and 2.5 sacks. He'll now look for another opportunity elsewhere for a team seeking depth on the edge.

  • Heads to IR, out for season

    Coach Nathaniel Hackett said Wednesday that Martin (knee) will go on injured reserve, ending his 2022 campaign, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Hackett sustained the knee issue during the Broncos' Week 14 loss to Kansas City and will miss the final four games of the regular season after being placed on injured reserve. The fifth-year linebacker made 13 total appearances (five with Denver and eight with the Jets) during the 2022 campaign and complied 14 tackles, 2.5 sacks and one forced fumble.

  • Headed to Mile High City

    The Jets traded Martin to Denver on Tuesday along with a 2024 fifth-round pick in exchange for 2024 fourth-round pick, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: After sending star edge-rusher Bradley Chubb to Miami at the trade deadline, the Broncos are scrambling to find fill-in reps at the position. Until Baron Browning and Randy Gregory return from injuries, Martin could actually see a significant role in Denver's defense right away.

  • Signs with Jets

    The Jets signed Martin on Thursday, Ethan Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.

    Analysis: Martin spent the last three seasons in Houston and started a career-high 14 games in 2021. He finished with 23 tackles, four sacks and two forced fumbles and will look to build off of his breakout campaign with New York in 2022.

  • Activated from COVID-19 list

    Martin was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Martin spent five days on the COVID list after testing positive. Now that he's healthy, he should return to starting on the edge of the Texans' defensive line Sunday against the Chargers.

  • Tests positive for COVID-19

    The Texans placed Martin on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

    Analysis: Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports that Martin, along with Maliek Collins and Derek Rivers, all tested positive for the virus. The 2018 sixth-round pick has played over 40 percent of the Texans' defensive snaps in every game this season, so his potential absence Week 16 against the Chargers would be a big loss.

  • Back from COVID-19 list

    The Texans activated Martin (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Aaron Wilson of The Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Martin tested positive prior to a Week 9 matchup against the Jaguars, but he's recovered and will return to team activities moving forward. The Texans' linebacker corps has gotten pretty banged up this year, including Brennan Scarlett (forearm) being placed on IR, so Martin could battle for a starting role moving forward.

  • Staying on COVID-19 list

    Coach Romeo Crennell said Monday that Martin (illness) will stay on the reserve/COVID-19 list for the Week 10 matchup against the Browns, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Martin tested positive last Wednesday and will miss at least two games as a result. Crennel did reveal that Whitney Mercilus and Dylan Cole, who were considered close contacts to Martin, are expected to return this week. Martin will aim to get back in action in Week 11 against the Patriots.

  • Tests positive for COVID-19

    Martin was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday after testing positive for the virus, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: The Texans will work virtually Thursday as a result. Martin won't be available for Sunday's game versus the Jaguars, but he could return Week 10 if he clears the league's COVID-19 protocols.

  • Records sack off edge

    Martin had two tackles and one sack in Thursday's 34-20 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Martin came off the edge and got to Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes on the Chiefs' first drive, taking them out of field-goal range. During training camp, Texans defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver talked about a larger role for Martin, who recorded 3.5 sacks while playing 21 percent of the snaps on defense in 2019, but the edge rusher played just 18 snaps (26 percent) Thursday.

  • Shows off speed in scrimmage

    Martin scooped up a fumble and ran it in for a touchdown during Thursday's scrimmage, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Martin is a budding IDP candidate for the Texans and is expected to play a larger role in 2020. He played just 221 defensive snaps (21 percent) in 2019 but contributed 3.5 sacks. He'll be on the field in all passing situations and could get more snaps if he establishes himself against the run.

  • More comfortable in Year 2

    Martin is expected to play more during his second season with the Texans, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Martin, who joined the Texans from Seattle in the Jadeveon Clowney trade, used his quickness off the edge to record 3.5 sacks in 223 defensive snaps, which was 20.5 percent of the snaps. It's natural he'll get more playing time in 2020. He joined the Texans on Aug. 31 last year, days before the regular season, and had to learn a whole new system. "He's definitely more comfortable in our system," head coach Bill O'Brien said. "Coming into our system, some things (were) different. He's done a…read more

  • Records sack, recovers fumble

    Martin had one tackle, one sack, two quarterback hits and recovered a fumble in Saturday's 22-19 overtime win over the Bills in an AFC wild-card playoff game.

    Analysis: Martin's fumble recovery led to a Ka'imi Fairbairn field goal early in the fourth quarter, and he later snuffed out a Bills' drive with a fourth-down sack of quarterback Josh Allen. Martin's a depth linebacker who has come on late in the season, recording 4.5 sacks over the last five games played.

  • Sitting out Sunday

    Martin (knee) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.

    Analysis: Martin was a limited participant in practice this week, and with the Texans already having the division wrapped up, they decided to hold Martin out. It will be his second straight game missed. With the Temple product sidelined, Barkevious Mingo is expected to see some extra snaps.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Martin (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans.

    Analysis: Martin was limited in practice throughout the week, which was an upgrade from last week when he was unable to see any practice time. His status will be revealed closer to Sunday's 4:25 ET kickoff, and if Martin is forced to miss his second straight game, Barkevious Mingo could be looking at some extra snaps.

  • Won't go Week 16

    Martin (knee) is ruled out of Saturday's game against the Buccaneers.

  • Managing knee injury

    Martin didn't practice Tuesday due to a knee injury.

    Analysis: Martin apparently suffered the injury during Sunday's win over the Titans, and he saw his three-game sack streak come to an end. The 24-year-old likely will need to return to practice in the next two days to have a legitimate chance of suiting up Week 16.
