Terron Armstead, Kendall Fuller In Concussion Protocol
Miami Dolphins offensive tackle Terron Armstead (concussion) and cornerback Kendall Fuller (concussion) are both in the NFL's concussion protocol after both players exited the Week 3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks early. In just a few weeks, the Dolphins have been crippled by injuries, including quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion), running back Raheem Mostert (chest), and now a Pro Bowl left tackle in Armstead and starting corner in Fuller. The explosive trio of Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and De'Von Achane was limited to just a combined 124 total yards in Week 3, and backup quarterback Skylar Thompson (rib) left the game early with a rib injury. Miami's offense is arguably the best in the league when healthy, but for now, fantasy managers can likely target its offense with opposing fantasy defenses.
Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Terron Armstead (shoulder) is considered "day-to-day" after picking up a shoulder injury in last Thursday night's blowout loss to the division-rival Buffalo Bills, according to head coach Mike McDaniel. It sounds like Armstead could have a chance to play in Week 3 in Seattle against the Seahawks, especially with the team having more time to rest on a long week. The Dolphins could really use some good news on offense after quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered another scary concussion on Thursday. With no timeline for when Tagovailoa can even think about playing football again, backup Skylar Thompson would certainly benefit from Armstead protecting his blind side in his first start in Week 3 in a hostile environment. If Armstead can't get cleared to play this weekend, Kendall Lamm and Patrick Paul would be the options to replace him.
Miami Dolphins left tackle Terron Armstead (shoulder) exited Thursday's game against the Buffalo Bills. He briefly returned to action but then exited again and was ruled out. As of now, the severity of Armstead's injury is unclear. On one hand, it was promising that he was able to come back in the game briefly, and it's also possible Miami kept him off the field as a precaution. On the other hand, if the injury is serious and will cost Armstead some time, Miami's offense will take a significant step back as a whole. The 33-year-old is a reliable, veteran presence on the offensive line. In addition to Armstead, the Dolphins are bracing for injury news regarding Tua Tagovailoa (concussion), Raheem Mostert (chest), and Jeff Wilson Jr. (oblique).
Miami Dolphins left tackle Terron Armstead is fully expected to return in 2024 to play another season. Armstead left his playing future in doubt in January after the team was eliminated by the Kansas City Chiefs in the wild-card round of the playoffs, but it appears that he plans to continue playing. His 2024 salary, which is already partially guaranteed, will become fully guaranteed on March 16. The 32-year-old Pro Bowler has dealt with injuries in each of the last three seasons, which is probably the biggest reason why he was initially considering retirement. But when he's healthy, Armstead is one of the best left tackles in r football, so his announcement to return for another season is good news for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and the rest of the Dolphins offense.
Miami Dolphins offensive tackle Terron Armstead has had a fantastic career since entering the NFL in 2013 as a third-round pick by the New Orleans Saints out of Arkansas-Pine Bluff. In 11 seasons, the 32-year-old has been named to five Pro Bowl rosters and was named an All-Pro selection in 2018. However, injuries have piled up in recent seasons. He has appeared in 120 of 179 possible regular season games in his career. Talking with reporters this week, Armstead said the 2023 campaign was the most challenging of his career, and he will have discussions with those close to him about his future. He said he still enjoys playing football, but the lower-body injuries have come in bunches. If he decides to hang up his cleats, the Dolphins will be left with a significant hole in their offensive line. He was named to the Pro Bowl this year and earned an 80.9 PPF grade.
Miami Dolphins left tackle Terron Armstead (ankle, knee) and safety Jevon Holland (knees) are both inactive on Monday night against the Tennessee Titans. Both players will sit out after being listed as questionable on the final Week 14 injury report. Offensive guard Robert Hunt (hamstring) is also out for the Dolphins offensive line, so their protection of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa against the Titans pass rush will be something to watch in this contest. Armstead injured his ankle in last week's win over the Washington Commanders and will be replaced at left tackle by Kendall Lamm. Holland, meanwhile, is missing his second straight game. Brandon Jones will start in Miami's secondary once again on Monday night.
Terron Armstead Questionable To Return Versus Commanders
Miami Dolphins left tackle Terron Armstead (ankle) exited during the first half of Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders. He is officially questionable to return. Injuries have been a constant obstacle for the 32-year-old, who has played 100 percent of snaps in just two games this season. Kion Smith should handle the bulk of snaps in his absence.
Miami Dolphins left tackle Terron Armstead (quadriceps) is considered week-to-week after suffering a quad injury in the win over the New York Jets on Black Friday. The 32-year-old had a stint on the Injured Reserve already this season and seems to be struggling to stay healthy. Despite his four All-Pro selections, he has not played every game in a single season during his 11-year NFL career with the Saints and Dolphins.
Miami Dolphins left tackle Terron Armstead (quadriceps) suffered a quadriceps injury in the Week 12 game on Friday against the New York Jets and is questionable to return. The oft-injured Armstead doesn't appear to be dealing with a serious ailment, but with the game already out of hand in the second half, it seems unlikely that the Dolphins will put him back into the game. Given Armstead's lengthy injury history, especially with lower-body injuries, it wouldn't be a surprise if he's forced to miss some time moving forward. The 32-year-old was playing in just his fifth game of the year on Friday due to various injuries. The health of Miami's offensive line is something worth watching late in the 2023 season.
Miami Dolphins left tackle Terron Armstead (knee) and cornerback Xavien Howard (groin) are active for Week 9 versus the Kansas City Chiefs. Both players had been listed as questionable. Having Armstead healthy will be huge for the Dolphins as they look to protect Tua Tagovailoa versus a strong Kansas City defense. Meanwhile, the return of Howard will help as Miami needs all hands on deck to slow down the elite play of Patrick Mahomes.
