Martin has been released by the Giants, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martin appeared in just five regular-season contests in 2019 due to a knee injury, during which he notched six tackles (three solo). His release frees up $4.8 million in 2020 cap space for the Giants while leaving $1.2 million in dead money. The 28-year-old will now look to latch on elsewhere in the league.

Martin (knee) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martin sustained the knee injury during the season opener but returned to practice in late November and now rejoins the 53-man roster for Week 14. The 27-year-old should serve in a depth role at outside linebacker.

The Giants have designated Martin (knee) to return from injured reserve, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martin returned to practice Wednesday, kicking off a 21-day window wherein the Giants can evaluate him for activation to the 53-man roster. If he's indeed cleared to retake the field, Martin will stand to play a key role in New York's linebacker corps.

The Giants placed Martin (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Martin was already expected to have an extended absence, and his placement on injured reserve guarantees he won't return until Week 10 at the earliest. The nature of his injury is still unclear. Tuzar Skipper and Oshane Ximines figure to see an uptick in their snap counts while Martin recovers.

Coach Pat Shurmur said Martin (knee) will miss multiple weeks, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martin left the season opener after playing just 10 snaps, and the team clearly isn't optimistic about Martin's health. He won't play in Sunday's game versus the Bills, and Markus Golden is expected to fill in as the starting outside linebacker.

Martin (knee) is out for the remainder of Sunday's game versus the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martin made two tackles (one solo) before exiting the game. A mix of Markus Golden and Oshane Ximines will replace Martin at outside linebacker for the time being. Martin will look to make a quick recovery to be ready for Week 2's contest versus the Bills.

Martin is expected to sign with the Giants, Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

After playing sparingly during his first three seasons in the league, Martin seemed to turn a corner in 2017, ultimately finishing the season with 24 tackles, one sack and three pass breakups over 16 games -- including 10 starts. The 2014 third-rounder has the looks of an up-and-coming outside linebacker who, at the very least, will provide the Giants' linebacking corps with much-needed depth.

Martin had 24 tackles (18 solo), one sack, one forced fumble and one interception in 16 games for the Cardinals in 2017.

EDGE Analysis

Martin started 10 games this season, in large part due to starter Markus Golden suffering a torn ACL in Week 4. The 25-year-old set a career-high in tackles and will enter 2018 as an unrestricted free agent.

Martin will start at weakside linebacker Sunday, Kent Somers of The Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Markus Golden being placed on injured reserve Monday with a torn ACL, the opportunity for Martin to see extended snaps for the rest of the regular season is there. Martin recently made his regular season debut after missing the first few games with a knee injury.

Martin (knee) will be active for Sunday's game against the Rams.

EDGE Analysis

Martin will make his regular season debut Week 4 as he projects to serve as Markus Golden's backup at weakside linebacker.
