The Packers signed Martinez to a reserve/future contract Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Martinez joined Green Bay's practice squad late last December and is now set to remain with the team for the start of the offseason. The 21-year-old was selected in the seventh round of last year's draft by Seattle before being waived in August, and he'll look to earn a spot on the Packers' final roster for the 2026 campaign.

The Packers signed Martinez to the practice squad Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

With MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) on injured reserve, it seems the Packers would like to bolster their running back room before the upcoming playoff run. The rookie seventh-rounder was waived by the Seahawks at the end of the preseason and has not yet seen action in an NFL regular-season game. Lloyd will be a candidate for elevation if Josh Jacobs, Emanuel Wilson or Chris Brooks were to suffer an injury in the coming weeks.

Martinez was released from the Seahawks' practice squad Friday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Seahawks waived Martinez at the end of the preseason and he's been on the practice squad since. He's likely to find an opportunity elsewhere around the league, or he could be re-signed by Seattle if the team shuffles its practice squad roster.

The Seahawks re-signed Martinez to the practice squad Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie seventh-round pick is back with Seattle's practice squad one day after having been cut from the unit. Martinez is competing to hold onto an emergency depth role at running back for the 2025 season.

The Seahawks cut Martinez from their practice squad Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The seventh-round rookie out of Miami failed to make Seattle's 53-man roster out of training camp this summer but was quickly brought back via the practice squad last week. Martinez logged 67 offensive snaps during the preseason, producing a 24-84-1 rushing line.

Martinez signed with the Seahawks' practice squad Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Martinez was highly touted even as a seventh-round pick due to a productive collegiate career at where he rushed for 2,187 yards (6.2 YPC) and 19 touchdowns over his final two seasons. However, the Miami product had an underwhelming preseason with just 84 yards on 24 carries (3.5 YPC) and was clearly outplayed by second-year back George Holani, who earned a spot on the active roster. Martinez is still just 21 years old and will have time to develop in a system that's favorable to running backs. If one of Holani, Kenneth Walker or Zach Charbonnet gets injured, either Martinez or Jacardia Wright will likely be called up.

Seattle waived Martinez on Tuesday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martinez won't stick around on the 53-man roster, in part due to the Seahawks' crowded backfield. The rookie seventh-round pick seems a solid candidate to resurface on the practice squad and continue his development with the team, should he go unclaimed on waivers.

Martinez rushed the ball seven times for 24 yards in Seattle's 20-7 preseason loss to the Packers on Saturday. He added two receptions on two targets for 14 yards.

EDGE Analysis

The Seahawks rested all of their starters and many of their top backups as well. That gave Martinez the chance to start, though it also made clear that he is fourth on the depth chart at best. That could put him on the roster bubble as cutdown day nears.

Martinez rushed 11 times for 50 yards and a score in Friday's 33-16 preseason win over the Chiefs. He also caught two passes for 14 yards.

EDGE Analysis

Martinez was the third running back in the pecking order after Zach Charbonnet and George Holani -- who rushed five times for 49 yards. Kenneth Walker rested once again. Martinez broke off a 19-yard run in the first quarter and scored in the third quarter before taking the rest of the night off. At this time, the rookie seventh-round pick is on track to make the roster as the No. 4 running back.

Martinez rushed six times for 10 yards and caught both of his targets for 15 yards in Thursday's 23-23 preseason tie against the Raiders. He also totaled 25 yards on two kickoff returns.

EDGE Analysis

Martinez was the second running back into the game after George Holani, who had 81 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on eight touches. Holani has the early lead in the competition for the third spot on Seattle's running back depth chart behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet, and the gap between him and Martinez likely grew Thursday. Martinez will try to make up some ground in the next preseason game against the Chiefs on Aug. 15.
