Dolphins’ Jonathan Martin out for the season

Jonathan Martin’s season is officially over.

The Miami Dolphins put the offensive tackle on the reserve/non-football illness list Saturday, freeing up his roster spot so safety D.J. Campbell could be promoted from the team’s practice squad. The move was not unexpected.

Martin left the Dolphins on Oct. 28, the start of what became an explosive probe into allegations that a culture of bullying was around the team and inside its locker room. Offensive lineman Richie Incognito was suspended Nov. 3 for his alleged role in the turmoil. Investigator Ted Wells’ probe of the team and its workplace environment is ongoing.

It was determined that Wolfe didn’t suffer a stroke or a full-blown seizure, but the Broncos didn’t specify the exact cause of his symptoms, saying only that he was doing better Saturday evening and that he was alert and communicating with others.
