Records first sack Martin had two solo tackles and a sack during Sunday's 41-25 win over Chicago.
Impact The rookie fifth-round pick played only nine defensive snaps during the divisional contest, as safeties Raven Greene and Will Redmond saw significant playing time with the Packers leading all night. Martin has otherwise played a rotational role at linebacker this season and should be utilized similarly the rest of the season.

Back on active roster Martin (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.
Impact The 22-year-old missed Thursday's win over the 49ers since he was a high-risk close contact of the COVID-positive AJ Dillion, but he's been cleared to rejoin the team. Martin played 81 percent of defensive snaps Week 8 against the Vikings and could have a sizable role this weekend versus the Jaguars with Krys Barnes (illness) now on the COVID-19 list.

Shifts to COVID-19 list Martin was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact Martin will need to isolate for five days because he's considered a high-risk close contact of AJ Dillon, who tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday. The rookie linebacker won't be available for Thursday's NFC matchup against the 49ers as a result. The Minnesota product handled 81 percent of the defensive workload in Week 8 and made three tackles. It appears Ty Summers could get the start at inside linebacker alongside Krys Barnes (shoulder/biceps) on Thursday.

Moves to active roster The Packers activated Martin (knee) from injured reserve Saturday.
Impact Martin was selected in the fifth round of April's draft, and he impressed throughout training camp before suffering a meniscus injury that knocked him out for six weeks. He's back in game shape and could have a role at inside linebacker since Christian Kirksey (pectoral) remains on IR, although it may be tough to take the starting role away from fellow rookie Krys Barnes, who has been one of the team's best defensive players thus far.

Could return Week 6 Martin (knee) returned to practice Monday, opening the 21-day window for him to return from IR, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Martin is eligible to return as soon as Week 6 against the Buccaneers if he can avoid a setback. The Packers may ease him back into the lineup considering he's never played an NFL snap, preseason or regular season. Ty Summer and Krys Barnes (shoulder) handled starting duties in the Packers' last outing, but there's room for Martin to carve out a role when he returns.

Lands on IR, as expected The Packers placed Martin (knee) on injured reserve Monday.
Impact Martin was reportedly having an excellent training camp before suffering a meniscus injury that required surgery and 6-to-8 weeks of recovery. The Packers will roll out Christian Kirksey, Oren Burks (undisclosed) and Ty Summers at linebacker to begin the season.

Suffers serious injury Martin underwent surgery on his meniscus Wednesday and is expected to be sidelined for 6-to-8 weeks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact This is tough news for the Minnesota product, especially considering he was in the running for a starting role in Week 1. It's unclear how Martin suffered the injury, but Rapoport points out that he could be a candidate for IR with a return designation. As long as Martin is sidelined, Ty Summers and Krys Barnes could stand to see an uptick in snaps.
