On Thursday, while speaking to reporters about his situation for the first time since the start of the regular season, Curtis Martin was vague regarding what his future holds, seemingly unsure himself about whether he'll ever practice or play again. In what was the most sobering comment of all, when he was asked if he will "definitely" practice the week after the Cleveland game, Martin said, "Definitely is not a word I'm going to use. Hopefully is the word that I will use."
