  • Broncos' Jacob Martin: 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.

    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.

  • Texans' Jacob Martin: Activated from COVID-19 list

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

  • Texans' Jacob Martin: Tests positive for COVID-19

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

    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.

  • Texans' Jacob Martin: Back from COVID-19 list

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

    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.

  • Texans' Jacob Martin: Records sack off edge

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

    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.

  • Texans' Jacob Martin: 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.

    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.
