Saints' Josh Martin: Records two tackles
Martin (concussion) had two solo tackles in Saturday's preseason game against the Jets.
Martin played only one game in 2018 with the Jets due to a concussion, but he appears healthy for the upcoming season. The 27-year-old has primarily worked on special teams throughout his career, but he had 43 tackles (28 solo) and 1.5 sacks during the 2017 season in New York.

Saints' Josh Martin: Heading to New Orleans
Martin (concussion) signed a contract with the Saints on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Martin's only action last season came during Week 4 against Jacksonville. His 2018 campaign was unfortunately short-lived, as he sustained what would end up being a season-ending concussion in that game after having just recovered from a head injury suffered in the Jets' final preseason contest. The 27-year-old has spent most of his NFL career in a depth role, but he found meaningful reps as a starter with the Jets in 2017, logging 43 total tackles and 1.5 sacks over 14 games. Rapoport also notes that Martin could see some work at defensive end for New Orleans.

Jets' Josh Martin: Designated for return
Martin (concussion) returned to the practice field Wednesday, indicating he's been designated to return from injured reserve, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
Martin will have a 21-day evaluation window to make his return to the field, though the team will likely look to have him back sooner rather than later with the season winding down already. His presence at practice Wednesday bodes well for a quick return, given that it suggests he's made progress in the league's concussion protocol.

Jets' Josh Martin: Headed to IR
Martin (concussion) will be placed on injured reserve, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Martin suffered his second concussion of the month during Sunday's loss to Jacksonville, raising some alarms for the Jets medical staff. Given the nature of head injuries, New York is more concerned with Martin's health than his availability. Martin's placement on injured reserve opens the door for rookie Frankie Luvu to make an immediate impact.

Jets' Josh Martin: Contract option picked up
The Jets exercised Martin's $1.8 million team option for 2018 on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL.com reports.
It was likely an easy decision for the Jets to bring back Martin after he finished the past season in a starting role at outside linebacker and acquitted himself well in that capacity. The 26-year-old achieved career highs across the board in 2017, finishing with 43 tackles, 1.5 sacks and one pass breakup. Look for him to fill at least a rotational role at linebacker to go along with his duties on special teams during the upcoming season.

Jets' Josh Martin: Back to full strength
Martin (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice and is in line to play Sunday against the Patriots.
Martin has missed the past two weeks but will be ready for the divisional matchup. When he did start at linebacker prior to his injury, however, Martin didn't play a full workload. The 25-year-old linebacker doesn't have proven NFL experience, and fantasy owners should wait before summoning him for their lineups.
