Moves to active roster The Packers activated Martin (knee) from injured reserve Saturday.
Impact Martin was selected in the fifth round of April's draft, and he impressed throughout training camp before suffering a meniscus injury that knocked him out for six weeks. He's back in game shape and could have a role at inside linebacker since Christian Kirksey (pectoral) remains on IR, although it may be tough to take the starting role away from fellow rookie Krys Barnes, who has been one of the team's best defensive players thus far.

Could return Week 6 Martin (knee) returned to practice Monday, opening the 21-day window for him to return from IR, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Martin is eligible to return as soon as Week 6 against the Buccaneers if he can avoid a setback. The Packers may ease him back into the lineup considering he's never played an NFL snap, preseason or regular season.

Impact This is tough news for the Minnesota product, especially considering he was in the running for a starting role in Week 1.
