The Lions have added multiple WR’s from the UFL (United Football League) in recent days. This is presumably in search of a playmaking returner to fill the void of Kendrick Law who suffered an ACL.
Tay Martin played with the UFL Columbus Aviators in 2026. Here is his medical report as excerpted from Lions Free Agency Medical Reports: Lucky Jackson, Tarik Black, & Tay Martin.
Medical concern level ranges from 0 (no concern) to 10 (extreme).
(Ages in parentheses are at start of 2026 season and are factored into the concern level. Injury info and ages based on available public information and are unverified – subject to update. Games played data courtesy of sports-reference.com.)
Tay Martin, WR (28)
Medical Concern Level: 0/10
Other than a hamstring injury last year, Martin appears to be clean. He was able to return from the hamstring to play three NFL games along with the UFL season, so there isn’t any concern here.
In his five-year college career at Oklahoma State and Washington State, Martin was generally reliable having played in 13 games in 4 of 5 seasons.
Martin has a fair amount of NFL game experience over the past few seasons, which might give him a leg up in the competition.
In 2026 with the UFL, Martin led the Columbus Aviators with 42 receptions for 483 yards.
