He has been undergoing platelet-rich plasma therapy, which involves injecting his blood into his knee to help spur tendon recovery. "Realistically, I might not be able to play this year. ... I might not be able to play the rest of the year," Martin told Yahoo! Sports. "That's what I'm realistic about, that I might not be able to. It's still up in the air.

"Nobody will ever be upset that I didn't try. They will never be able to say that. I've fought through stuff worse than that."
