Well, they said it wasn't serious, and although he's day to day there's a chance he will miss little and possibly no time. I'm in the same boat though as that's the latest I've heard (from Rotowire).
The scarier thing is, I think it was actually both of them, Martin also hurt himself celebrating at some point, but I don't think it was as severe

It was Bill
Gramatica placed on IR with torn ACL
NFL.com wire reports
TEMPE, Ariz. (Dec. 18, 2001) -- Arizona Cardinals kicker Bill Gramatica's celebration landed him on injured reserve.
Gramatica tore ligaments and cartilage in his right (non-kicking) knee Saturday when he jumped to celebrate a field goal against the New York Giants and landed awkwardly. He was placed on injured reserve Tuesday and is out for the rest of the season.
Cedric Oglesby won a two-man competition Tuesday to replace the rookie.
Surgeons will rebuild the joint in Gramatica's knee this week, but the recovery period may force him to miss the start of training camp in July.
Oglesby, whose last season at South Carolina State was in 1999, and Vitaly Pisetsky, Wisconsin's kicker last year, auditioned for coach Dave McGinnis and his staff.
Oglesby went to training camp with Dallas in 2000 and San Diego this year, but he will see his first NFL action Sunday when the Cowboys visit the Cardinals.

And I believe it was only a 42-yarder too. Not a chip shot, but not the longest of his career either.
Back to Crawford now...

Carl Crawford, who's hitting .300 after going 2-for-3 on Thursday, strained his left knee in that game and had to leave the contest early. It is not yet known if he'll be available for Friday's opener, but he's listed as day-to-day.
This is from the preview article on mlb.com for today.
I'm thinking of sitting him in favor of Brian Giles today, but I'm not sure. Giles hasn't exactly been lighting it up lately and is 0/7 lifetime against Perez of Pittsburgh...I wouldn't do it if I knew Crawford was playing!!!

Would you rather have an 0-0 night or an 0-4 night?
