The Facts:
Martin's season ended Wednesday because of a lingering knee injury, but the Jets hope the star running back will play again. Eric Mangini said he spoke to Martin on Tuesday night, and the NFL's No. 4 career rusher said he didn't think he'd be ready to practice next week -- the team's deadline for a decision on his availability this season. Reported by the Associated Press

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The announcement ended months of speculation about Martin's future since his injury last season. Mangini said Martin will attend meetings and work with the team, but will not play this season. Mangini did not rule out Martin playing again next season. When asked if he would be willing to go through a similar situation next year with uncertainty surrounding Martin's availability, Mangini said, "For Curtis Martin, yes."
