Patriots Receiver Keshawn Martin Ruled Out Of Sunday’s Game Vs. Giants

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — A hamstring injury will keep New England Patriots wide receiver Keshawn Martin out for a fourth consecutive game.

The Patriots ruled out Martin on Saturday night, indicating the wide receiver didn’t make the Week 10 road trip to play the New York Giants.

Martin was acquired via trade from the Houston Texans after Week 1, and he has six catches for 95 yards and one touchdown in three games and two starts for the Patriots. Martin had passed Aaron Dobson on the Patriots’ wide receiver depth chart before Brandon LaFell was activated off the PUP list.

The Patriots ruled out offensive linemen Sebastian Vollmer (concussion), Tre’ Jackson (knee) and Marcus Cannon (toe) and linebacker Jamie Collins (illness) on Friday. The Patriots will have to deactivate just two more players an hour and a half before Sunday’s 4:25 p.m. ET matchup with the Giants.

Cornerback Justin Coleman (hand), guard Shaq Mason (knee) and defensive end Jabaal Sheard, like Martin, were listed as questionable by the Patriots on Friday. They made the trip to New York.

Sheard’s status will be a game-time decision, the Boston Herald’s Jeff Howe reported Saturday, citing a source.
