QUAN MARTIN NEWS

Four stops in loss Martin recorded four total tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 16-13 overtime loss to the Dolphins.

Impact 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.

Good to go for Week 11 Martin (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

NOVEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Tending to shoulder issue Martin (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Impact Martin tied for a team lead in tackles (9) over 69 defensive snaps in Week 10 versus the Lions, and it's not immediately obvious when he suffered the shoulder injury. He will get two more shots to manage a full practice prior to the Commanders' last practice report of the week being published Friday.

Totals nine stops in Week 10 loss Martin finished with nine tackles (three solo) Sunday in a loss to Detroit.

Impact Martin and Bobby Wagner each had nine stops to tie for the Commanders' lead in tackles.

He's already tallied 67 tackles through 10 games this season after posting a career-high 87 stops across 16 regular-season contests last year.

NOVEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Able to suit up Week 10 Martin (hamstring) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Lions.

Impact Martin hurt his hamstring last Sunday night against the Seahawks and logged a DNP/LP/FP practice progression this week. He'll ultimately be able to avoid missing a game for the first time this season. Martin should therefore take on his usual starting safety role for Washington.

NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Draws questionable tag for Week 10 Martin (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.

Impact Martin was unable to practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury he sustained against Seattle in Week 9. He managed to increase his practice participation over the next two days and was a full participant in Friday's session, but he hasn't been given the green light to play Sunday just yet. Martin's status for Week 10 may not be officially known until the Commanders announce their list of inactive players about 90 minutes before the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, but if he's not cleared to play, then Tyler Owens (hamstring) and Darnell Savage would be the top candidates to start at safety alongside Jeremy Reaves.

NOVEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Upgrades to limited practice Martin (hamstring) logged a limited practice session Thursday.

Impact The limited session is an upgrade for Martin after he didn't practice in any capacity Wednesday. The third-year safety suffered a hamstring injury Sunday against Seattle and had to sit out the fourth quarter. Martin's level of practice participation Friday should go a long way in determining his chances of suiting up Week 10 versus Detroit.

NOVEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

No practice Wednesday Martin (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.

Impact Martin suffered the hamstring injury during Sunday's loss to Seattle. The severity of the issue is still unclear, though it's not a big surprise that he was unable to practice in any capacity Wednesday.

NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with hamstring injury Martin (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest against Seattle.

Impact Martin suffered a hamstring injury in the second half, and his status for the rest of the game is now uncertain. In his absence, Tyler Owens and Darnell Savage are candidates to operate in larger roles at safety versus the Seahawks.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Leading tackler Monday Martin recorded 14 tackles (10 solo) during Monday's 28-7 loss at Kansas City.

Impact The Chiefs created plenty of tackling opportunities by running the ball 30 times in Week 8, and Martin capitalized by tallying a career-high tackle total. In Week 9, Washington will play host to the Seahawks, who are one of the most run-heavy teams in the league.

Sidelined by illness in Week 18 Martin (illness) is inactive for Sunday's clash against the Cowboys, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

Impact 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.
