Former Nebraska, Kansas State QB Adrian Martinez to Start Jets’ Preseason Finale Saturday
With time ticking away on the final week of the National Football League preseason, Adrian Martinez will have one final opportunity to cement his spot on the New York Jets’ roster.
The former Nebraska and Kansas State quarterback is set to get his first start of the preseason on Saturday after coach Robert Saleh announced that current starter Aaron Rodgers and the rest of the Jets’ starters will not play against the New York Giants. Martinez will open the contest, while Wyoming rookie quarterback Andrew Peasley will close out the game in the second half.
Martinez has routinely been in the second-half role this preseason, leading the Jets to two wins so far. He notably led a game-winning drive against the Washington Commanders in the opening contest, while proceeding to push New York into favorable field positions to extend a second-half lead into a victory at Carolina.
The Nebraska alum has thrown for 171 yards, no touchdowns and one interception through his two preseason performances. Peasley has passed for 106 yards and one touchdown.
Martinez, whose 10,792 career total offense yards at Nebraska is a program record, has not made an NFL roster in his professional career, but he was named the United Football League’s Most Valuable Player after leading the Birmingham Stallions to a league title earlier this year.
Martinez and the Jets face the New York Giants on Saturday with kickoff at 6:30 p.m. CDT at MetLife Stadium. Final National Football League roster cuts are Aug. 27. Each franchise is allowed a 53-man roster, along with 17 practice squad spots.

NioCorp to start work on its minerals mine in southeast Nebraska
NioCorp announced Monday that it plans to start work on its critical minerals mine in southeast Nebraska.
The project, which the company is calling its mine portal project, will involve building a main entrance to the Elk Creek underground mine and will serve as the primary access point for personnel, equipment, and materials for the underground mining operations. It also will include excavating bedrock, drilling and blasting to establish the twin mine ramps, on-site access road construction, and construction of on-site supporting infrastructure.
The project, which will cost nearly $45 million, is set to get underway before the end of the month. It marks the first time Colorado-based NioCorp will actually start any significant work on the main mine, from which the company hopes to extract niobium, scandium, titanium and other minerals.
“Given the size of this excavation work, the portal project really marks the beginning of a major pre-construction activity at the Elk Creek Project site and is an important step toward preparing for underground development,” Scott Honan, the company’s president and chief operating officer, said in a release.
Mark A. Smith, Niocorp’s chairman and CEO, called the project, “a significant milestone.”
Niocorp has spent more than 15 years trying to develop the mine on land in Johnson County, about 65 miles southeast of Lincoln.
The company still needs to raise a significant amount of money to make the $1.2 billion mine a reality, though. In December, NioCorp said it had raised about $360 million, or a little more than a quarter of the total cost. It is still waiting for approval of a $780 million debt financing application from the Export-Import Bank of the United States.
