Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said Friday that there's optimism Armstead (shoulder) will be back on the field "sooner than later" and has avoided a worst-case scenario injury, Alain Poupart of SI.com reports.
Armstead spent time on and off the field during Thursday night's loss to the Bills before finally leaving for the locker room in the third quarter. The veteran is one of the league's best left tackles when healthy, but injuries have been a recurring issue in his career. It's encouraging that Armstead doesn't seem to be dealing with a season-ending injury, and if he isn't able to play Week 3 versus Seattle, the Dolphins can turn to either Kendall Lamm or rookie Patrick Paul.

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.

Dolphins' Terron Armstead: Retirement may be option
Rotowire
Armstead may consider retirement this offseason, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Armstead played 10 regular-season games in 2023, his 11th season, missing time due to a quadriceps injury earlier in the season and later due to an ankle injury. The 32-year-old stated he never makes decisions immediately after the season and will take time to plan his future. Despite the injuries, Armstead continues to play at a high level, earning his fifth career Pro Bowl nod this season. Armstead still has three years remaining on his current contract.

Dolphins' Terron Armstead: Listed as questionable
Rotowire
Armstead (quad) has drawn a questionable designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders.
Armstead injured his quadriceps in the Dolphins' Week 12 matchup with the Jets and was subsequently considered week-to-week. He was a limited participant at practice all week, so it appears he might be progressing quicker than originally expected. Still, final confirmation on his status in Washington will come closer to kickoff. Kendall Lamm and Kion Smith are candidates to replace him at left tackle if needed.

Armstead sustained the injury in the third quarter of Friday's win against the Jets and did not return.

Dolphins' Terron Armstead: Exits Friday's win with quad injury
Rotowire
Armstead left Miami's victory over the Jets on Friday due to a quad injury, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Armstead departed in the third quarter and was initially deemed questionable to return, but he never got back into the game. Head coach Mike McDaniel didn't have an update on the left tackle following the contest, per Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald, so the seriousness of his quad issue is uncertain. Right tackle Austin Jackson was ejected from Friday's victory, so both Kendall Lamm and Kion Smith were pressed into action.

Dolphins' Terron Armstead: Expected to play Sunday
Rotowire
Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Friday that he's "very optimistic" that Armstead (knee) will be available Sunday, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
Armstead, who has yet to be activated from injured reserve, was able to log limited practice sessions both Wednesday and Thursday. The All-Pro tackle has been sidelined since the Dolphins' Week 4 loss to the Bills, and if he is able to suit up this Sunday, Kendall Lamm (who filled in for Armstead) would serve as his backup once again.

Dolphins' Terron Armstead: Placed on IR
Rotowire
Armstead (knee) was placed on injured reserve Friday.
Armstead will miss a minimum of four games due to this injury, so the earliest he could return would be Week 9 in Kansas City. Kendall Lamm started at left tackle in Miami's first two games of the season when Armstead was sidelined by leg and back injuries, so Lamm likely will move into a starting role again while Armstead is sidelined.
Armstead, who suffered a knee injury during Sunday's loss to the Bills, will be out for a matter of "weeks, not days," according to head coach Mike McDaniel, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
Armstead will be out against the Giants in Week 5, but he will return this season. McDaniel added. The news isn't necessarily surprising considering the star offensive tackle left the stadium on crutches, although it's still a significant blow to Miami's offensive line, especially on the heels of a rough divisional loss to Buffalo. Kendall Lamm will be the man at left tackle for the Dolphins while Armstead is out, however long that may be.
