Martin (hamstring) is listed as inactive Monday at Carolina, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Thus, the Buccaneers have confirmed what was expected all along with their No. 1 running back. What wasn't expected was the placement of Charles Sims (knee) on injured reserve Monday. The development places Jacquizz Rodgers at the head of the backfield, but Peyton Barber and Russell Hansbrough are around in case another ailment afflicts the RB corps. With a Week 6 bye imminent, Martin will have plenty of time to recover before the team's next contest on Oct. 23 at San Francisco.
