Quan Martin: Everything you need to know

Martin recorded 99 tackles (52 solo) and three passes defensed while playing in all 17 regular-season games in 2025. Martin set a new career high in tackles, missing the century mark by one. The 2023 second-round draft pick made 16 starts before being demoted to a bench role in the season finale. Martin will be in the mix for the Commanders' starting free safety role in 2026.

Martin recorded four total tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 16-13 overtime loss to the Dolphins. Martin played just 65 percent of the team's defensive snaps, leading to his lowest amount of solo stops since Week 4. Backup safety Darnell Savage was on the field for 26 snaps on defense, his highest total since Week 7, potentially siphoning off some of Martin's workload. Martin has now compiled 71 total tackles (38 solo), two passes defensed and a forced fumble over 11 contests this season.

Martin (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Martin upgraded to full participation at Friday's practice after a pair of limited sessions. He'll occupy his usual starting free safety role Sunday in Madrid.
