Martin has been limited this season due to a hamstring injury, playing in eight games. He was healthy for the game with the Saints but the Bucs chose to make him inactive.

He has carried 144 times for 421 yards, a meager 2.9 yards per carry. Charles Sims likely will see a lot more action with Martin out.
