Tay Martin: Returns to practice squad
Rotowire
Martin reverted to the Commanders' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's official transactions log.
Martin played seven offensive snaps and three snaps on special teams during Monday's loss to the Bears, though he wasn't targeted. With that having been the third consecutive game Martin was elevated for, Washington will have to sign him to the 53-man roster in order to have him play in any future contests, including Sunday's road matchup against the Cowboys. The placement of Noah Brown (groin/knee) on Wednesday may pave the road for exactly such a transaction.

Commanders' Tay Martin: Elevated to face Bears
Rotowire
The Commanders have elevated Martin from the practice squad for Monday's game against the Bears.
Martin will be elevated for a third consecutive game, meaning that to suit up for any further regular-season contests for the Commanders, the team will have to sign him to the active roster. In both of his prior appearances Martin drew exactly one target, but he could see expanded opportunities on Monday versus Chicago with both Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin/knee) ruled out, and Deebo Samuel (heel) expected to play through injury.

Commanders' Tay Martin: Elevated Saturday
Rotowire
Martin was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Commanders writer Ben Standig reports.
The Oklahoma State product will add depth to a Commanders wide receiver room without Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin) in the Week 4 matchup against the Falcons. Martin's most recent NFL action came with the Titans in 2024, with him recording a 49-yard touchdown reception across just four offensive snaps.

Rotowire
The Titans waived Martin (undisclosed) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Monday.
Martin had reverted to the team's IR earlier this month but will now head to free agency. He hauled in one pass for 49 yards and a touchdown during his lone appearance for Tennessee last season and will look to catch on with another team once healthy.

Titans' Tay Martin: Added to active roster Saturday
Rotowire
The Titans signed Martin from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Martin began the season on San Francisco's practice squad before being cut in early September. Tennessee signed him to its practice squad shortly thereafter, and he had remained there until signing to the active roster Saturday. Martin played in three games for the 49ers over the previous two seasons, logging four offensive snaps and 25 special teams snaps without recording any additional stats. He'll likely play a depth role at wide receiver for the Titans on Sunday versus Houston if he's active.

The 49ers signed Martin to their practice squad Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Tay Martin: Cut by 49ers
Rotowire
Martin was waived by San Francisco on Tuesday.
Martin first joined the 49ers as an undrafted free agent in 2022, and he's spent most of the first two season of his career on the practice squad. The 6-foot-3 wideout has appeared in three regular-season games for San Francisco, and, if he clears waivers, he's a candidate to rejoin the team's practice squad.

49ers' Tay Martin: Joins active roster
Rotowire
The 49ers elevated Martin to their active roster Saturday.
The 26-year-old wideout has got a shot to appear in his first NFL game since 2022. Martin could very well play on special teams and add some extra depth to a 49ers wide receiver room that will be without Jauan Jennings (concussion) in Week 17.

The 49ers signed Martin to their practice squad Wednesday.

Tay Martin: Back to practice squad
Rotowire
Martin reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Martin only appeared on special teams during Sunday's win over the Raiders. This marked the 25-year-old's second game with the team this season, but he's only seen one snap on offense. He may receive another opportunity to suit up Sunday against the Cardinals, if Deebo Samuel (knee) remains out.

49ers' Tay Martin: Gets bumped to active roster
Rotowire
San Francisco elevated Martin from its practice squad to the active roster Saturday for Sunday's matchup against the Rams.
Martin inked a practice-squad deal with the 49ers after failing to make the team's initial 53-man roster and will have his first chance to make his NFL debut after being elevated to the active roster ahead of Week 8. With Deebo Samuel (hamstring) out and Jauan Jennings (hamstring) questionable, Martin may get involved offensively, but he's still unlikely to see a large enough role to be fantasy relevant. The undrafted rookie out of Oklahoma State caught 80 of 120 targets for 1,046 yards and 10 touchdowns during his final collegiate campaign.
