Adrian martinez (xfl mvp) was elevated from the practice squad as Aaron has a sore knee. He wasn’t promoted as some stories say; he’s going right back to ps after this.
But that’s not all. From another story we get this…
“Martinez call-up is interesting in the sense that the Jets must feel a need to have an emergency third quarterback on standby. Aaron Rodgers was banged up with a knee issue earlier in the week, but returned to practice in full capacity and does not carry an injury status into Sunday's game. Veteran Tyrod Taylor is New York's QB2, and he saw mop-up duty in the season opener against the San Francisco 49ers.
“For the first time this season, the Jets will presumably have three quarterbacks available. Unless he is listed as active on Sunday morning, Martinez would only be eligible to enter if both Rodgers and Taylor suffered in-game injuries. After capturing the UFL MVP award this past spring, Martinez joined the Jets one week into training camp. “

Do mainstream sports sites not have editors? The union vetoed the leagues efforts to allow ps to dress as the emergency qb. The only way Martinez plays is if Rodgers is ruled out at least 90 minutes beforehand. Otherwise he doesn’t dress but will get paid for the game same as any other ps player ruled inactive. Most are.
Dont we read sports journos or even listen in in game commentary to get the facts on what’s going on with a player or a game? For something mainstream, this just seems like a fail.
