Most assumed the worst when left tackle Terron Armstead exited in the second quarter of last Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans.
Armstead was diagnosed with a pectoral strain and initial reports believed he would miss some time but would return sooner rather than later. While there is no promise that Armstead will play on Sunday — he missed just two practices before returning to the field.
NFL Network’s Cam Wolfe noted that Armstead had been telling people early in the week that he is aiming to play on Sunday. Additionally, before Friday’s practice, coach Mike McDaniel mentioned that Armstead would be limited and not yet ruled out for Sunday’s battle with the San Francisco 49ers.
