HEMPSTEAD, N.Y., Oct. 16 (UPI) -- The New York Jets said Monday running back Curtis Martin will be on the physically unable to perform list for the next two weeks due to a knee injury.

The Jets host the Detroit Lions Sunday, then head to Cleveland to take on the Browns on Oct. 29. The following week is a bye, and would offer Martin an extra week to continue to rehabilitate his right knee.

Martin, 33, had arthroscopic surgery on that knee back in December and has not seen action yet this season. After consulting with team doctors, it was decided the best course of action would be to hold Martin out until at least the bye week.

Martin has broken nearly every team rushing record since joining the Jets in 1998, including yards (10,302), touchdowns (58) and 100-yard games (43).
