Jacob Martin - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Career-high 5.5 sacks in 2025 Martin had 5.5 sacks among his 39 tackles (17 solo) while playing in all 17 regular-season games in 2025.

Impact Martin set new career highs in both sacks and tackles while tacking one pass defensed and one forced fumble onto his ledger. He started 14 games, matching his total from the 2021 season in Houston. Outside of those two campaigns, Martin has only one regular-season start in six other NFL seasons. His career-best output in 2025 should help Martin earn some attention in free agency this offseason.

Sacks Mahomes twice Martin made two tackles (two solo), including 2.0 sacks, during Washington's loss to the Chiefs on Monday.

Impact Martin's performance was one of the few bright spots for the Commanders during Monday's loss, as the veteran defensive end brought his statistical totals across eight regular-season appearances to 20 tackles (nine solo), including 3.5 sacks. The eighth-year veteran, now on the seventh team of his NFL career, is already within striking distance of tallying new career-best totals across the board in his inaugural campaign with the Commanders. He'll work to keep up his momentum Week 9 at home against Seattle.

Will play vs. Washington Martin (toe) is active for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Impact Martin will make his 2024 regular-season debut Sunday after missing the first six games due to a toe injury. The 2018 third-round pick will provide depth at defensive end behind starters Montez Sweat and DeMarcus Walker.

OCTOBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Activated from IR The Bears activated Martin (toe) from injured reserve Saturday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

Impact Martin may be able to suit up for Sunday's road game against Washington, now that he's been removed from IR. The veteran defensive end has missed the entire regular season to this point due to a toe injury sustained late August, and once back on the field he's expected to contribute in a depth role.

OCTOBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 8 Martin (toe) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Commanders.

Impact Martin has yet to suit up this season after being placed on injured reserve in late August due to a toe issue. However, he was designated to return Oct. 9 and logged a full week or practice, giving himself a chance to suit up in Week 8. Martin must still be activated to the Bears' active roster in order to play Sunday.

OCTOBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play vs. Jaguars Chicago will not activate Martin (toe) from its injured reserve list for Sunday's game against Jacksonville, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Martin managed a full practice Friday, but apparently he'll need to sit out at least one more game before he's ready for game action. His next chance to suit up will be in Week 8 at Washington.

OCTOBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Practicing fully but still on IR Martin (toe) logged a full practice Friday but remains on injured reserve and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Impact Martin has logged three full practices in the lead-up to the Week 6 London game against the Jaguars, but he will need to be officially activated from injured reserve prior to Sunday's game in order to suit up. If Martin plays, he would provide edge depth for a Chicago pass rush that will be looking to generate extra pressure to make up for a depleted Bears secondary that will be without starting safety Jaquan Brisker (concussion) and likely starting cornerback Tyrique Stevenson (calf) as well.

OCTOBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice Martin (toe) was designated to return from injured reserve and was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's practice estimate.

Impact Martin was placed on IR before the first game of the season and has had his 21-window to practice with the team opened. Although he'll still need to be moved to the 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, he appears on track to be with the Bears estimating he could have practiced in full Wednesday. Further clarity on his status for Week 6's London matchup will likely come closer to kickoff Sunday.

OCTOBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Opening season on IR Martin (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve by the Bears on Tuesday, Larry Mayer of the team's official website reports.

Impact Martin failed to log any stats in the preseason after signing with the Bears in March, suffering an undisclosed injury along the way at some point. The defensive lineman will now be forced to miss at least Chicago's first four games of the regular season before he'd be eligible to return Week 5 against the Panthers on Oct. 6.

Heads to IR, out for season Coach Nathaniel Hackett said Wednesday that Martin (knee) will go on injured reserve, ending his 2022 campaign, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Impact Hackett sustained the knee issue during the Broncos' Week 14 loss to Kansas City and will miss the final four games of the regular season after being placed on injured reserve. The fifth-year linebacker made 13 total appearances (five with Denver and eight with the Jets) during the 2022 campaign and complied 14 tackles, 2.5 sacks and one forced fumble.

DECEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
