Stephen Ross, the owner of the Miami Dolphins spoke out for the first time just hours before the team hit the field for Monday Night Football.
According to ESPN, Ross also texted Martin last week and offered his support as the controversy began to unfold.

Joe Carter is Outfront in Miami, where the team plays tonight, their first game without both Incognito and Martin.
