Miami Dolphins starting offensive tackle Jonathan Martin left the team following an incident with teammates, multiple sources confirmed to ESPN.com.

Jonathan Martin, upset following an incident with teammates, has left the Dolphins, according to multiple sources.
According to sources, Martin was the subject of some ribbing on Monday and was angry about it. One source said Martin's fellow offensive linemen were behind the incident, and it happened in the Dolphins' lunch room.

"O-line made fun of him and he snapped," a source said.

Martin left the team this week and is listed as doubtful for Thursday night's game against the Cincinnati Bengals due to an illness. Neither source was sure when Martin would return. Backup right tackle Tyson Clabo is expected to start in Martin's place.

Martin, a former Stanford product, was a 2012 second-round pick of the Dolphins. He has started every game for Miami this season. He spent the first six games at left tackle and one at right tackle.

According to Fox Sports 1, which had earlier reported the news on Wednesday evening, Martin is with his family and receiving treatment.


Not sure what the prank was but it sounds like he's being a huge pussy.

This is correct since we know all the facts and exactly what happened.

There was a thread about it yesterday, hope Martin is alright, he always seemed like a different dude though. Fun fact, Martin turned down the opportunity to be the first 4th generation African American Harvard graduate.

I don't think turning down Harvard for Stanford--especially when you are a fball player--is all that crazy.

He's gay and the team wouldn't eat lunch with him.

ETA: Don't know if that's true, just my guess.

A gay NFL offensive lineman.

That's fricking scary.

They didn't want to eat lunch with him, but no one has said why other than it was a joke.


Frankly, I'd rather it be that he was gay and now he's pouting than other possibilities, given that people think he may have pulled what that Oakland lineman did, taking a drug-fueled trip through Tijuana that made him AWOL for the Super Bowl.

According to Glazer, the players did a typical joke where when the last guy comes to sit down at the table everyone gets up at the same time to walk away. They supposedly did that to Martin, causing him to snap and smash his food tray.

This was obviously the tipping point. Other things had to have happened prior to this incident IMO

I'd like to know the extent of the pranks, and if there are any motivations behind them.

When I went to school in New Hampshire, dumb shite like this is why I finally lost it. If you only looked at my last day there telling everyone to go frick themselves, it looks bad. If you look at the previous 5 months and saw people convincing one another to hate me because of Psoriasis, it's a completely different issue. Isolated pranks are fine, it's when they are constant and for a reason they get to be too much.
