Jaguars' Arik Armstead: Totals 5.5 sacks in regular season
Rotowire
Armstead compiled 28 tackles (13 solo), including 5.5 sacks, plus one forced fumble across 16 regular-season appearances in 2025.
Armstead will continue holding down a starting role at defensive tackle during Jacksonville's playoff run, beginning with Sunday's wild-card-round matchup against the Bills. He has one more year remaining on his contract with the Jaguars, though the team has a potential 'out' in his deal this offseason, albeit at the cost of $17.1 million in dead cap.
Armstead (hand) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts.
The veteran defensive tackle officially has been cleared to return Sunday from a one-game absence due to a hand injury. Armstead's return means Maason Smith will revert to a rotational role on the Jaguars' defensive line.

Jaguars' Arik Armstead: Listed as questionable for Week 14
Rotowire
Armstead (hand) is questionable to play against the Colts on Sunday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Armstead was unable to play against the Titans in Week 13 due to a hand injury. The injury limited Armstead's practice participation all week, and his status for Sunday's game may not be officially known until approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, when the Jaguars announce their list of inactive players. Maason Smith would likely start alongside DaVon Hamilton at defensive tackle if Armstead is not cleared to play.
Jaguars' Arik Armstead: Begins Week 14 with limited practice
Rotowire
Armstead (hand) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
Armstead didn't play Sunday versus Tennessee due to a hand injury, though he didn't get an official injury designation for the contest until Saturday. The veteran defensive tackle sported a heavily wrapped hand during practice Wednesday, per Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville, but he was able to log a limited session. That's a positive sign for his likelihood of suiting up against Indianapolis this Sunday, though Armstead may enter the weekend with an injury designation if he isn't able to log at least one full practice session over the next two days.

Jaguars' Arik Armstead: Won't play vs. Tennessee
Rotowire
Armstead (hand) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.
Armstead was added to Saturday's injury report due to a hand injury, which is severe enough for him to be sidelined for Sunday's AFC South tilt. His absence means Austin Johnson, Maason Smith and Matt Dickerson are all candidates for increased snaps at defensive tackle alongside starter DaVon Hamilton. Armstead will look to progress enough in his recovery to return for Week 14 against the Colts on Sunday, Dec. 7.
