All are believed to be injuries. Owens suffered a leg injury near the end of Tech’s loss to Pittsburgh the previous Saturday.
All have played regularly in their position rotations, with Owens starting all eight games and Martin and Oliver five each.
It’s a significant hit for the Tech defense, particularly on the line, which already was thin. It could mean bigger roles for end Jordan Domineck, Djimon Brooks at tackle and Christian Campbell at safety.
Linebacker Charlie Thomas also may be limited with an upper-body injury.
Tech quarterback Lucas Johnson, who left the Pitt game with an upper-body injury, took part in warm-ups.
