Commanders' Terry McLaurin will miss the Cowboys game. Washington adds Burks to its practice squad

Wide receiver Terry McLaurin will miss a fourth consecutive game for the Washington Commanders on Sunday with a lingering quadriceps muscle injury, part of a series of health issue...

OCTOBER 17 • Associated Press

Returns to practice squad Martin reverted to the Commanders' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's official transactions log.

Impact Martin played seven offensive snaps and three snaps on special teams during Monday's loss to the Bears, though he wasn't targeted. With that having been the third consecutive game Martin was elevated for, Washington will have to sign him to the 53-man roster in order to have him play in any future contests, including Sunday's road matchup against the Cowboys. The placement of Noah Brown (groin/knee) on Wednesday may pave the road for exactly such a transaction.

OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated to face Bears The Commanders have elevated Martin from the practice squad for Monday's game against the Bears.

Impact Martin will be elevated for a third consecutive game, meaning that to suit up for any further regular-season contests for the Commanders, the team will have to sign him to the active roster. In both of his prior appearances Martin drew exactly one target, but he could see expanded opportunities on Monday versus Chicago with both Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin/knee) ruled out, and Deebo Samuel (heel) expected to play through injury.

OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Reverts to practice squad Martin reverted to the Commanders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Martin played a total of 26 snaps (14 on offense, 12 on special teams) and logged one catch for nine yards and a tackle during the Commanders' 27-10 win over the Chargers on Sunday. He could be elevated to Washington's active roster for a third consecutive game for Week 6 against the Bears if one or both of Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) or Noah Brown (groin) were not cleared to play.

OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated from practice squad The Commanders elevated Martin from their practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Impact Martin will be elevated for the second straight week as both Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin) have been ruled out. Martin caught one pass for 14 yards in addition to seeing playing time on special teams in last week's loss versus the Falcons and should have a similar role versus the Chargers.

OCTOBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Reverts to practice squad Martin reverted to the Commanders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Martin was added to the active roster ahead of the team's 34-27 loss to the Falcons on Sunday, helping fill in for Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin) in Week 4. The wide receiver played nine offensive snaps in the contest, reeling in his only target for 14 yards, while he also played 17 snaps on special teams. If either McLaurin or Brown remains sidelined in Week 5, Martin could be elevated to the active roster again prior to the team's matchup with the Chargers.

SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated Saturday Martin was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Commanders writer Ben Standig reports.

Impact The Oklahoma State product will add depth to a Commanders wide receiver room without Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin) in the Week 4 matchup against the Falcons. Martin's most recent NFL action came with the Titans in 2024, recording one reception for 49 yards a touchdown across just four offensive snaps.

SEPTEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Back with Washington The Commanders signed Martin to the practice squad Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports.

Impact Martin failed to make Washington's 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he's back with the team as a member of the practice squad. He has played in four regular-season games since signing with the 49ers as an undrafted free agent in May of 2022.

SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Waived by Washington The Commanders waived Martin on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Martin will be an option to land on Washington's practice squad, if he goes unclaimed on waivers. The 27-year-old wideout appeared in one regular-season game with the Titans last season and got a chance to make the first catch of his NFL career, securing one of two targets for a 49-yard touchdown.

AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE

Signs with Commanders Martin and the Commanders agreed to terms on a contract Wednesday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact After suiting up in one game last year with Tennessee, Martin will now get a chance to prove himself on the Commanders. The 27-year-old caught his first career pass last season for a 49-yard touchdown. He'll face an uphill climb to make the 53-man roster given Washington already has a relatively set wide receiver corps.

JULY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Let go by Titans The Titans cut Martin (undisclosed) with an injury settlement Tuesday.

Impact Martin had reverted to the team's injured reserve earlier this month but will now head to free agency. He hauled in one pass for 49 yards and a touchdown during his lone appearance for Tennessee last season and will look to catch on with another team once healthy.

MAY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Reverts to injured reserve Martin (undisclosed) reverted to the Titans' injured reserve list Thursday.

Impact Martin was waived with an injury designation Wednesday. After going unclaimed on waivers, Martin now lands on injured reserve. He'll need to spend the entirety of the 2025 season there unless he's later cut with an injury settlement. The 27-year-old receiver appeared in one game for Tennessee last season, reeling in one of his two targets for a 49-yard touchdown in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Texans.

MAY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Waived by Titans The Titans waived Martin (undisclosed) with an injury designation Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Impact Martin spent time on both Tennessee's practice squad and active roster last season and caught one pass for 49 yards and a touchdown during his lone appearance. Should he clear waivers, the 27-year-old will likely revert to the team's injured reserve.

WR Tay Martin WIDE RECEIVER TAY MARTIN

JANUARY 5 • TENNESSEETITANS.COM

Added to active roster Saturday The Titans signed Martin from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Martin began the season on San Francisco's practice squad before being cut in early September. Tennessee signed him to their practice squad shortly thereafter, and he had remained there until signing to the active roster Saturday. Martin played in three games for the 49ers over the previous two seasons, logging four offensive snaps and 25 special teams snaps without recording any additional stats. He'll likely play a depth role at wide receiver for the Titans on Sunday versus Houston if he's active.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Joining Tennessee's practice squad Martin is slated to sign with the Titans' practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Martin spent time with the 49ers this offseason, and though he earned a spot on the team's initial practice squad, he was cut by the team early September. Now, Martin will get a chance to continue his development with Tennessee. Over the last two seasons, Martin appeared in three total games while playing primarily on special teams for San Francisco.

SEPTEMBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Let go from practice squad The 49ers cut Martin from the practice squad Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Martin has spent the last two seasons bouncing between San Francisco's active roster and practice squad, so he could be a candidate to rejoin the team at a later date. He appeared in a total of two games with the team in 2022 and one game in 2023, playing mostly on special teams.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Lands on SF practice squad The 49ers signed Martin to their practice squad Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Martin was waived by the 49ers on Tuesday but will rejoin the team in an unsurprising move. He's bounced on and off the team's active roster in each of the last two seasons, appearing in three total games while playing primarily on special teams.

AUGUST 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Waived by 49ers Martin was cut by San Francisco on Tuesday.

Impact Martin first joined the 49ers and undrafted free agent in 2022, and he's spent most of the first two season of his career on the practice squad. The 6-foot-3 wideout has appeared in three regular-season games for San Francisco, and, if he clears waivers, he'll be a likely candidate to re-join the team's practice squad.

Cut by 49ers Martin was waived by San Francisco on Tuesday.

Impact Martin first joined the 49ers as an undrafted free agent in 2022, and he's spent most of the first two season of his career on the practice squad. The 6-foot-3 wideout has appeared in three regular-season games for San Francisco, and, if he clears waivers, he's a candidate to rejoin the team's practice squad.

AUGUST 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sticks with San Francisco The 49ers signed Martin to a reserve/future contract Tuesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Martin signed with the 49ers' practice squad after failing to make the initial 53-man roster. He saw two elevations during the regular season, but he played nearly exclusively on special teams. With his new contract, he'll be able to stick around the organization and compete for a larger role next season.

JANUARY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back to practice squad Martin reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Martin only appeared on special teams during Sunday's win over the Raiders. This marked the 25-year-old's second game with the team this season, but he's only seen one snap on offense. He may receive another opportunity to suit up Sunday against the Cardinals, if Deebo Samuel (knee) remains out.

JANUARY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated for Sunday's contest The 49ers elevated Martin from their practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's Week 17 clash with the Raiders, Josh Dubow of The Associated Press reports.

Impact Martin was previously elevated in late October ahead of a Week 8 win over the Rams, and he logged one offensive snap and five special-teams snaps in that contest. Top wideout Deebo Samuel (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday, but San Francisco is nonetheless unlikely to give Martin more than a few offensive snaps against Las Vegas.

DECEMBER 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Bumped down to practice squad Martin reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Martin received the elevation with Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings both out due to hamstring injuries. The 24-year-old was making his NFL debut and saw one offensive snap against the Rams, while also seeing five on special teams. However, the rookie failed to tally any stats.
