Dolphins' Terron Armstead: Retirement looming
Rotowire
Speaking at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine on Tuesday, Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said the team is operating as if Armstead will retire, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Armstead is expected to agree to a restructured contract that knocks his base salary from $13.3 million to the veteran minimum, allowing the Dolphins to use that money elsewhere. The left tackle turns 34 years old in July and has been unable to stay healthy over the last several seasons. Armstead was able to start 15 games last season, but he had to leave five of those contests early due to injuries. Expect the Dolphins to heavily invest in the offensive line this offseason.

Dolphins' Terron Armstead: Unlikely to suit up Week 15
Rotowire
Armstead (knee) is doubtful for Sunday's matchup against Houston, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Armstead aggravated a lingering knee injury early in this past Sunday's win over the Jets, and though he was able to return to the contest, he logged only five offensive snaps. The issue kept the veteran offensive tackle from practicing all week, and it will also probably result in him missing Sunday's matchup. In Armstead's expected absence, Patrick Paul is likely to start.

Dolphins' Terron Armstead: Good to go Sunday
Rotowire
Armstead is active for Sunday's game against the Raiders after he was listed as questionable due to knee injury.
The Dolphins' starting left tackle will suit up despite not practicing in any fashion this week due to what the team attributed to both the knee injury and rest.

Left guard Robert Jones (knee) joined Armstead as being listed as questionable, but Jones has also been given the green light to play against Las Vegas.

Dolphins' Terron Armstead: Still in concussion protocols
Rotowire
Armstead (concussion) was listed as a DNP on the Dolphins' injury report Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Armstead was diagnosed with a concussion during the Dolphins' Week 3 loss to the Seahawks. The 2013 third-round pick will have to clear the NFL's five-step protocol this week in order to suit up against the Titans on Monday. Kendall Lamm took over for Armstead at left tackle during Sunday's game, and the former would figure to be the starter for Monday's contest if the latter is unable to suit up.

Dolphins' Terron Armstead: Day-to-day with shoulder issue
Rotowire
Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Monday that Armstead is viewed as day-to-day with a shoulder injury, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports.
Armstead exited Thursday night's loss to the Bills with a shoulder injury, but following McDaniel's comments Monday, it appears the 33-year-old offensive lineman could return to the field sooner rather than later. His practice participation will be something to monitor as the week progresses, but if Armstead needs more time to recover, expect Kendall Lamm or Patrick Paul to assume Miami's top left-tackle duties.

Dolphins' Terron Armstead: Planning return to Miami
Rotowire
Armstead confirmed Wednesday that he intends to stick with the Dolphins for the 2024 season, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Armstead said after Miami's wild-card round playoff exit that he would consider retirement as a possible option this offseason, but the Pro Bowl left tackle will run it back heading into his age-33 season. Durability has always been a concern for Armstead, who has now played just eight, 13 and 10 games in the last three seasons. Still, Armstead remains a standout performer when on the field, so his commitment for the 2024 campaign is good news for the Dolphins' offense.
