Impresses Week 1 Martin logged nine total tackles (eight solo) during Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Buccaneers.

Impact The second-year safety out of Illinois was one of the few bright spots for the Commanders' defense Sunday, finishing second on the team in total tackles. In Martin's rookie year, he appeared in 16 regular-season games and recorded 46 total tackles, including 1.0 sack, and two interceptions. Expect Martin to have a more prominent role in the Commanders' secondary as his sophomore campaign progresses.

Headed for starting safety job Martin is on track to start at free safety this year, according to independent Commanders reporter Mark Bullock.

Impact Martin started his college career as a perimeter cornerback but ultimately spent a lot of time in the slot and also played safety a bit. The Commanders drafted him in the second round last spring, 47th overall, and then installed Martin as their slot corner for most of an up-and-down rookie season. New coach Dan Quinn wants Martin to move to free safety, perhaps because it frees up the nickelback job for rookie second-round pick Mike Sainristil, who was dominant guarding the slot in his final two seasons at Michigan. Martin might face a learning curve at safety, but his 4.47 time and 44-inch vertical jump suggest few players at the position league-wide have similar athleticism.

Won't return Sunday Martin (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

Impact Martin briefly returned to Sunday's game, but the ankle injury appears to be serious enough to have him ruled out for the rest of the contest. Nick Whiteside and Emmanuel Forbes will pick up the slack with Martin sidelined.

Questionable to return Martin is considered questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cowboys due to an ankle injury, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

Impact The severity of Martin's injury is unknown at this time. While he is sidelined, Nick Whiteside and Emmanuel Forbes are candidates to see increased snaps at cornerback.

Nursing chest injury Martin (chest) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact It's unclear when Martin picked up the chest issue, but his presence at practice Wednesday suggests it's probably not too severe. If he can upgrade to full participation at practice Thursday or Friday, he'll likely avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Gets first career INT in win Martin had a pass deflection and an interception in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Patriots.

Impact His interception came late in the fourth quarter on a pass from Mac Jones intended for JuJu Smith-Schuster that went through the hands of the receiver and into Martin's arms to seal the game. The rookie cornerback has seen his role on defense steadily increase over the past few weeks and played a season-high 14 defensive snaps in Week 9. Martin will look to continue to carve out a bigger role for himself in Week 10 against the Seahawks.
