Coach Dan Quinn said Monday that Armstrong (knee) will miss the remainder of the season, Commanders writer Ben Standig reports.
EDGE Analysis
Armstrong suffered the knee injury in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys after logging just four defensive snaps. The 28-year-old defensive lineman's season is over after compiling 24 tackles (16 solo), including a team-high 5.5 sacks. Washington already has several other edge defenders on injured reserve, so the team may need to look outside the organization for help at the position.

Armstrong is expected to miss time after sustaining a knee injury in Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Cowboys, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran defensive end sustained a knee injury early in the first quarter of Sunday's loss, and it now appears it's serious enough for him to miss time. Armstrong has been Washington's most effective pass rusher through seven games, recording 24 total tackles, including 5.5 sacks. Preston Smith is currently the only healthy Commanders defensive end, with Armstrong, Javontae Jean-Baptiste (pectoral), Deatrich Wise (quadriceps) and Drake Jackson (knee) all dealing with injuries.

Armstrong (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Armstrong sustained a knee injury during the Commanders' first defensive possession of the game, which is severe enough for him to be sidelined for the rest of Sunday's NFC East contest. The Commanders will turn to Eddie Goldman, Jer'Zhan Newton and Sheldon Day to pick up the slack at defensive end in Armstrong's absence.

Armstrong (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Armstrong is dealing with an apparent knee injury, which he suffered on the first possession of the game for Dallas. With Armstrong's status up in the air, Eddie Goldman, Jer'Zhan Newton and Jalyn Holmes are top candidates to see an increase in workload on the defensive line.

Armstrong (hamstring) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Armstrong was absent from practice all week while nursing a hamstring injury, but he'll now officially play Week 7. The defensive lineman has compiled 24 total tackles (16 solo), including 5.5 sacks, over six games this season, and he'll look to keep up his high level of production against Dallas.

Armstrong (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Armstrong was held out of practice all week due to a hamstring injury, but the Commanders have not ruled him out for Sunday's NFC East tilt just yet. In the event that Armstrong isn't cleared to play, Washington will turn to Eddie Goldman, Jer'Zhan Newton and Jalyn Holmes to fill in the gap at defensive end opposite Preston Smith.

Armstrong (hamstring) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Armstrong has opened the week with back-to-back DNPs due to a hamstring injury he picked up during Monday's loss to the Bears. He'll have to log at least a limited practice Friday in order to have a chance at playing against the Cowboys on Sunday. Armstrong has started in four of six regular-season games this year, so his absence would open the door for Jalyn Holmes, Jer'Zhan Newton and Eddie Goldman to see an increase in snaps on the defensive line.

Armstrong (hamstring) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's estimated injury report.
EDGE Analysis
Armstrong sustained a hamstring injury during the Commanders' 25-24 loss to the Bears on Monday, which caused him to leave the game twice. Armstrong would have to return to practice in at least a limited capacity over the next two days in order to have a realistic chance at playing in Sunday's NFC East road clash against the Cowboys. Jalyn Holmes and Jer'Zhan Newton would stand to see more snaps on the Commanders' defensive line if Armstrong is not able to play against Dallas.

Armstrong (hamstring) is questionable to return to Monday night's contest versus Chicago, Commanders writer Ben Standig reports.
EDGE Analysis
Armstrong has been in and out of the game due to a hamstring injury, and it now feels unlikely that he'll return to the field in Week 6. Jalyn Holmes will shoulder a larger workload on the defensive line in Armstrong's absence.

Armstrong (hamstring) has returned to Monday's matchup against the Bears, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
