Adrian Martinez, several former Huskers looking to solidify spots on NFL rosters

Martinez joined the Jets’ preseason roster after a successful UFL season, during which he won UFL MVP and a championship with the Birmingham Stallions.

He finished his final preseason game, completing 12 of his 20 pass attempts for 99 yards. The Jets took down the Giants 10-6 as Martinez helped the team go 3-0 in the preseason.

Martinez’s totaled 270 passing yards in the preseason and went 25-for-47 through the air. He threw one interception and no touchdowns. The dual-threat quarterback also rushed for 51 yards on six attempts.

While veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers projects to be the starter for the Jets, Martinez also shared preseason snaps with fellow veteran Tyrod Taylor and rookie Andrew Peasley.

Rookie safety Phalen Sanford and veteran Ameer Abdullah saw playing time with the Raiders. Sanford compiled three tackles and recovered one fumble. Abdullah rushed for 13 yards on four attempts and failed to record a carry in the Raider’s last preseason game.

Packers receiver Samori Touré looks to win a position battle at receiver to make the Green Bay roster. He recorded five receptions for 53 yards.

Rookies safety Omar Brown and cornerback Quinton Newsome saw playing time with the Broncos. Brown compiled six tackles, including one for loss. Newsome totaled five total tackles and one pass deflection.

Players who saw little to no preseason action but are prepared to be on the roster for the regular season are Bucs linebacker Lavonte David, 49ers defensive tackle Maliek Collins and Chargers offensive lineman Brendan Jaimes.

Cam Jurgens and Nick Gates look to make the Eagles roster as possible replacements for long-time NFL center Jason Kelce.

Cut day for NFL rosters is Tuesday.
