Josh Martin
Player News
Martin was placed on Injured Reserve Friday due to a torn labrum and other shoulder damage, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Martin injured his shoulder in the Saints' third preseason game and he'll now likely be sidelined for the remainder of 2019.
Martin (concussion) had two solo tackles in Saturday's preseason game against the Jets.
Martin played only one game in 2018 with the Jets due to a concussion, but he appears healthy for the upcoming season. The 27-year-old has primarily work on special teams throughout his career, but he had 43 tackles (28 solo) and 1.5 sacks during the 2017 season in New York.
Martin (concussion) signed a contract with the Saints on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Martin's only action last season came during Week 4 against Jacksonville. His 2018 campaign was unfortunately short-lived, as he sustained what would end up being a season-ending concussion in that game. Martin had just recovered from a concussion suffered in the Jets' final preseason game. The 27-year-old has spent most of his NFL career in a depth role, but he found meaningful reps as a starter with the Jets in 2017, logging 43 total tackles and 1.5 sacks over 14 games. Rapoport also notes that Martin could see some work at defensive end for New Orleans as well.
Martin (concussion) will not return this season, freelance NFL writer Howard Balzer reports.
The cutoff for Martin's return from injured reserve passed effectively ending his 2018 season. Given the nature of head injuries, there's no guarantee Martin will be ready in time for next season. He'll be someone to monitor over the course of the offseason.
