The Patriots signed Martin to their active roster Monday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
As starting center David Andrews continues to deal with a calf issue, the Patriots have decided to add veteran depth at the position.

EDGE Analysis
Martin spent the 2018 season on injured reserve with a toe injury -- which seems to still be an issue -- that he sustained in the preseason while playing for Dallas. It's unsure how much longer the USC product will need to recover, but it seems that he'll have an opportunity to fight for a roster spot this offseason.

EDGE Analysis
Martin suffered his injury during the Cowboys' first preseason game back in August and wasn't able to return during the season. It's unclear how long his recovery will take or if he'll miss any part of the team's offseason program. He'll set his sights on securing a role as a backup lineman with the team once he's back to full strength.

Martin (toe) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Todd Archer of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Martin was not expected to suit up this season, so moving him onto injured reserve was the logical step for the Cowboys. Damien Mama and Dustin Stanton both have a chance at filling Martin's role as a backup guard, given that Dallas doesn't go acquire someone during training camp.

Martin sat out Thursday's practice with an undisclosed injury.
EDGE Analysis
Martin didn't play at all in 2017 but had shown starter ability earlier in his career. He's been operating as a backup while with Dallas. While his injury is unclear there has been no indication that it's serious or will hinder him for long. Look for Kadeem Edwards or Joe Looney to get some extra reps in any further practices that Martin misses.
