Totals 5.5 sacks in regular season Armstead compiled 28 tackles (13 solo), including 5.5 sacks, plus one forced fumble across 16 regular-season appearances in 2025.

Impact Armstead will continue holding down a starting role at defensive tackle as Jacksonville prepares to make a hopeful 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.

Cleared to play Week 14 Armstead (hand) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Impact The veteran defensive tackle has been officially 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.

Listed as questionable for Week 14 Armstead (hand) is questionable to play against the Colts on Sunday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Impact 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.

Begins Week 14 with limited practice Armstead (hand) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Impact 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.

Won't play vs. Tennessee Armstead (hand) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Impact 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.

Added to injury report Armstead was added to the injury report Saturday and is considered questionable to play in Sunday's game against the Titans, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Impact Armstead has had a healthy season and typically played around 70 percent of defensive snaps. He's been a key part of the Jaguars' pass rush, logging 5.5 sacks in 11 games. Armstead's potential absence would be a key loss for Jacksonville's defense.
