Cardinals LB Gabe Martin Ruptures Achilles

Gabe Martin‘s chances of making the Cardinals roster took a major hit. Mike Jurecki hears that the linebacker ruptured his Achilles during offseason workouts (Twitter link).

The 2015 undrafted free agent out of Bowling Green initially signed with Arizona as a rookie. In 2016, he compiled four tackles in eight games, but that season ended prematurely due to a knee injury. He briefly caught on with the Saints practice squad, but Arizona signed him again in November. Martin went on to appear in three games for the Cardinals this past season, collecting two tackles.

Fortunately for the Cardinals, they have plenty of depth at inside linebacker. Behind projected starters Josh Bynes and Deone Bucannon, the team is also rostering Gabe WrightScooby Wright, and Bryson Albright.

Cardinals Sign LB Josh Bynes

The Cardinals have made several roster moves this morning, according to Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com (via Twitter). The team has signed linebackers Josh Bynes and Terence Waugh, released wideout Larry Clark, and waived/injured linebacker Gabe Martin.

Josh Bynes (Vertical)Bynes is the most experienced name on the list, as the veteran linebacker has appeared in 64 games (28 starts) since entering the league in 2011. The former undrafted free agent out of Auburn played the past three seasons in Detroit, including a 2015 campaign where he compiled career-highs in tackles (54), passes defended (five), and forced fumbles (one). The 27-year-old ranked 15th in PFR’s free agent positional rankings.

Waugh, an undrafted free agent out of Kent State, played 38 games during his four-year collegiate career. Over his final two seasons, the linebacker/defensive end averaged 36 tackles and 13.5 sacks per year. Waugh and Bynes will join a crowded linebackers corps that already includes seven backup candidates to starters Markus GoldenDeone BucannonKarlos Dansby, and Chandler Jones.

Martin, a 2015 undrafted free agent out of Bowling Green, appeared in eight games for the Cardinals last season, compiling four tackles. The linebacker had suffered through an Achilles injury during the first few days of training camp. Clark signed with the organization following rookie minicamp, with the undrafted free agent out of Colorado State-Pueblo impressing scouts with his size.
