Largely unable to practice because of injuries this season, Miami Dolphins left tackle Terron Armstead could be headed for the bench.
He left Sunday's win before the sixth snap and was visibly emotional on the bench during the first quarter, leading to speculation he might need knee surgery.
"We will let it cool down a little bit," head coach Mike McDaniel said Monday of Armstead. "What that means for (playing Sunday), I will make sure my communication is steadfast with him."
Miami might not have a final decision in place early in the week, but McDaniel and the offense know they'll need to be fully prepared for a Houston Texans pass rush with 42 sacks.
