Martin (illness) is inactive for Sunday's clash against the Cowboys, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports. Martin was added to the injury report due to the illness early Sunday, and he's now been ruled out for the Commanders' regular-season finale. His absence is a significant one for Washington's secondary, as the Illinois product logged 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps in five of his past six games. Percy Butler or Darrick Forrest could slide into a starting role Sunday in Martin's stead.

Martin (illness) is inactive for Sunday's clash against the Cowboys, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports. Martin was added to the injury report due to the illness early Sunday, and he's now been ruled out for the Commanders' regular-season finale. His absence is a significant one for Washington's secondary, as the Illinois product logged 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps in five of his past six games. Percy Butler or Darrick Forrest could slide into a starting role Sunday in Martin's stead.
Martin recorded eight total tackles (seven solo) and two passes defended, including one interception, in Sunday's 30-24 overtime win over the Falcons. Martin was active early, picking off rookie Michael Penix on the Falcons' first drive in Sunday's overtime win. The Illinois product continued to make plays throughout the remainder of the game, leading Washington's defense in total tackles and defending an additional pass. Martin has been productive in his first full season as a starter, tallying 87 total tackles, three passes defended, including one interception, and three forced fumbles over 16 appearances. He's expected to remain the Commanders' top free safety in Week 18, when the team travels to Dallas.
Martin (shoulder) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints. Martin upgraded to full practice participation Friday after opening the week with consecutive limited sessions, suggesting that he's now recovered from his shoulder injury. The second-year pro from Illinois has logged 71 total tackles while appearing in all of the Commanders' 13 games this season, and he'll look to add to that total in Sunday's matchup in New Orleans.
Martin (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Despite the Commanders having a Week 14 bye, Martin popped up on Wednesday's injury report with a shoulder issue. He likely sustained the injury in Washington's Week 13 win over the Titans, as he played just 45 defensive snaps, his lowest mark since Week 7. Martin's practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can play in Sunday's matchup against the Saints.
Martin finished Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Cowboys with seven total tackles (two solo), including one tackle for loss. The second-year safety from Illinois finished as the Commanders' third-leading tackler in Sunday's loss, trailing Bobby Wagner and Frankie Luvu, who each posted eight total tackles. Martin has impressed in his first season as a full-time starter, recording 66 total tackles, two forced fumbles and one pass defended through 12 games. He and Jeremy Chinn are expected to keep making plays as Washington's top safety duo in the Week 13 matchup against the Titans.
Martin recorded six total tackles (two solo) while also forcing a fumble in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Steelers. Martin finished fourth on the team with six stops against Pittsburgh, but most notably, he stripped running back Jaylen Warren in the fourth quarter when Warren was at the one yard line. The safety has now compiled 53 total tackles (34 solo), a pass defensed and a forced fumble over 10 games in 2024.
Martin finished Sunday's 18-15 win over the Bears with 11 tackles (nine solo). After opening the regular season with a nine-tackle effort against the Buccaneers in Week 1, Martin failed to log more than six combined tackles in each of the Commanders next six games. The starting free safety was more heavily involved Sunday, however, as he led the Commanders with 11 tackles while playing 52 defensive snaps. Martin is up to 44 combined tackles through eight regular-season games and is two shy from matching his production across 16 regular-season outings in 2023.
Martin (shoulder) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, John Keim of ESPN.com reports. Martin logged back-to-back limited sessions to open the Commanders' week of practice, but he upgraded to full participation Friday, indicating that he's moved past his shoulder injury. Expect the Illinois product to start alongside Jeremy Chinn as part of the Commanders' top safety duo in Week 7.
Martin (neck) was listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's practice session. Martin has been dealing with a neck injury since last week, but he was able to avoid an injury designation heading into the Commanders' Week 6 bout against the Ravens. The 2023 second-round pick has opened this week as a limited practice participant, but he should be good to go for Sunday's game against the Panthers barring any setbacks. Martin has accumulated 31 tackles (22 solo) and one pass defended through the first six games of the regular season.
