Adrian Martinez: Everything you need to know

San Francisco signed Martinez to a reserve/future contract Tuesday. Martinez spent most of the 2025 season on the 49ers' and the Jets' practice squads, taking just one snap with San Francisco in Week 9 against the Giants to execute the game-ending kneel down. It appears the 49ers saw something they liked in Martinez though, so he'll be staying with them to begin the 2026 league year.

San Francisco signed Martinez to its practice squad Wednesday, Kyle Madison of USA Today reports. Just a day after being waived from the Jets' practice squad, Martinez is now back with the 49ers, who also cut him from their practice squad less than two weeks ago. With starter Brock Purdy and backup Mac Jones both healthy, Martinez is likely a couple injuries away from seeing any game action for the rest of the season.

The Jets waived Martinez from the practice squad Tuesday, Susanna Weir of the team's official site reports. Martinez was signed to the practice squad and elevated to the active roster in Week 15 to serve as the No. 2 quarterback behind Brady Cook. The quarterback's waiving signals that at least one of either Tyrod Taylor (groin) or Justin Fields (knee) will be available for Sunday's game against the Saints. Martinez will now be placed on waivers, and if he clears will become a free agent.
