The NFL's official transactions page now lists running back Curtis Martin as activated from the team's physically unable to perform list.
Much like the Colts' activation of defensive tackle Corey Simon, which happened on Thursday, it could be the first step toward officially ending Martin's career with the Jets.
Unlike Simon, of course, Martin has been a tremendous player for the Jets whose tenure with the team will be celebrated when his departure becomes official. Martin played eight seasons with the Jets, which followed three with the Patriots, who drafted him in 1995. With 14,101 career rushing yards, he has a good chance of being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Martin re-worked his contract with the Jets last month, which freed up some salary cap space for the team. Few people seriously expected him to return in 2007, as he turned 34 in May, had his least productive
season in 2005 and missed all of 2006 with a knee injury. ProFootballTalk.com -- The Best Pro Football Scoop on the Internet
