Who Should I Start? Clayton Tune or Adrian Martinez

Thursday, August 28, 5:31 PM

The Green Bay Packers signed former Arizona Cardinals quarterback Clayton Tune to their practice squad on Thursday, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Tune became available to all NFL teams when the Cardinals cut him earlier this week. The 26-year-old will now head to the NFC North, where he'll serve as QB depth for the Packers behind starter Jordan Love and backup Malik Willis. In three preseason games for the Cardinals before being cut, Tune went 30-for-49 passing for 186 yards, one touchdown and an interception while rushing nine times for 53 yards. The former fifth-rounder (139th overall) in 2023 out of Houston has thrown for just 70 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in 13 games (one start) in his first two NFL seasons.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Adrian Martinez has been elevated from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of the Week 2 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Martinez was signed to the 49ers practice squad after failing to make the New York Jets initial 53-man roster. He wasn't expected to be anything more than a third or fourth string depth option. However, the 49ers are going to be without Brock Purdy (shoulder) and Kurtis Rourke (knee) for Sunday's game. That being said, Martinez will head to the active roster and be the backup to Mac Jones. There isn't fantasy value here with Martinez right now, but he's a name to watch if something happens to Jones.
