Overview
- In the Week 11 overtime loss to the Dolphins in Spain, Quan Martin played roughly two-thirds of the defensive snaps, marking one of his lightest workloads this season.
- Quinn described the move as a change in personnel to make corrections and he did not attribute the reduction to injury.
- Martin was limited in practice before the game with a shoulder issue, but the staff offered no health-based explanation for his usage.
- Washington has dropped six straight to fall to 3-8, and its defense ranks near the bottom of the league in yards and points allowed with few takeaways.
- A 2023 second-round pick with one year left on his rookie deal, Martin owns a low PFF grade among safeties after early-season praise from now-demoted coordinator Joe Whitt Jr., leaving his role under review during the bye.
