Terron Armstead

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said he is “pessimistic” about LT Terron Armstead (knee) playing in Week 15 against the Texans.

McDaniel said earlier in the week that Armstead’s knee issue is “a rest thing” after the veteran tackle made it through just five snaps before exiting last week’s game against the Jets. Armstead has not practiced this week, but McDaniel said he will see how things play out over the next 48 hours before deciding on his availability this week. If Armstead is unable to play, we would expect Patrick Paul to draw the start after replacing Armstead last week.
