Commanders' Jacob Martin: Career-high 5.5 sacks in 2025
Martin had 5.5 sacks among his 39 tackles (17 solo) while playing in all 17 regular-season games in 2025.
Martin set new career highs in both sacks and tackles while tacking one pass defensed and one forced fumble onto his ledger. He started 14 games, matching his total from the 2021 season in Houston. Outside of those two campaigns, Martin has only one regular-season start in six other NFL seasons. His career-best output in 2025 should help Martin earn some attention in free agency this offseason.

Commanders' Jacob Martin: Sacks Mahomes twice
Martin made two tackles (two solo), including 2.0 sacks, during Washington's loss to the Chiefs on Monday.
Martin's performance was one of the few bright spots for the Commanders during Monday's loss, as the veteran defensive end brought his statistical totals across eight regular-season appearances to 20 tackles (nine solo), including 3.5 sacks. The eighth-year veteran, now on the seventh team of his NFL career, is already within striking distance of tallying new career-best totals across the board in his inaugural campaign with the Commanders. He'll work to keep up his momentum Week 9 at home against Seattle.

Commanders' Jacob Martin: Heading to Washington
Martin agreed to a one-year, $3-million deal with the Commanders on Thursday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
The defensive end played on a one-year deal in 2024 as well, with the Bears, recording 15 tackles (nine solo), including 3.0 sacks. Martin played on 213 defensive snaps and on 203 special teams snaps, the fourth season in a row in which he saw nearly as many special teams snaps as defensive snaps. The 2018 sixth-round pick of the Seahawks has never made more than 23 tackles in a season, and he's now landed one-year deals in each of the last three offseasons.

Bears' Jacob Martin: Will play vs. Washington
Martin (toe) is active for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Bears' Jacob Martin: Activated from IR
The Bears activated Martin (toe) from injured reserve Saturday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
Martin may be able to suit up for Sunday's road game against Washington, now that he's been removed from IR. The veteran defensive end has missed the entire regular season to this point due to a toe injury sustained late August, and once back on the field he's expected to contribute in a depth role.

Bears' Jacob Martin: Questionable for Week 8
Martin (toe) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Commanders.
Martin has yet to suit up this season after being placed on injured reserve in late August due to a toe issue. However, he was designated to return Oct. 9 and logged a full week or practice, giving himself a chance to suit up in Week 8. Martin must still be activated to the Bears' active roster in order to play Sunday.

Bears' Jacob Martin: Won't play vs. Jaguars
Chicago will not activate Martin (toe) from its injured reserve list for Sunday's game against Jacksonville, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Martin managed a full practice Friday, but apparently he'll need to sit out at least one more game before he's ready for game action. His next chance to suit up will be in Week 8 at Washington.

Bears' Jacob Martin: Practicing fully but still on IR
Martin (toe) logged a full practice Friday but remains on injured reserve and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Martin has logged three full practices in the lead-up to the Week 6 London game against the Jaguars, but he will need to be officially activated from injured reserve prior to Sunday's game in order to suit up. If Martin plays, he would provide edge depth for a Chicago pass rush that will be looking to generate extra pressure to make up for a depleted Bears secondary that will be without starting safety Jaquan Brisker (concussion) and likely without starting cornerback Tyrique Stevenson (calf) as well.

Bears' Jacob Martin: Returns to practice
Martin (toe) was designated to return from injured reserve and was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's practice estimate.
Martin was placed on IR before the first game of the season and has had his 21-window to practice with the team opened. Although he'll still need to be moved to the 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, he appears on track to be, with the Bears estimating he could have practiced in full Wednesday. Further clarity on his status for Week 6's London matchup will likely come closer to kickoff Sunday.

Martin (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve by the Bears on Tuesday, Larry Mayer of the team's official website reports.
Martin failed to log any stats in the preseason after signing with the Bears in March, suffering an undisclosed injury at some point.
