The Miami Dolphins have been dealt a major blow to their offensive line as veteran tackle Terron Armstead is set to miss multiple weeks due to an injury. Armstead, who signed with the Dolphins this offseason, was expected to be a key part of the team’s offensive line.
Armstead suffered the injury during practice on Tuesday and the team has not yet released the specifics of the injury. However, it is believed to be a serious one that will keep him out for an extended period of time. Armstead was expected to start at left tackle for the Dolphins, but now the team will have to look for other options.
The Dolphins have already been dealing with injuries on the offensive line, as guard Ereck Flowers was placed on injured reserve earlier this week. Now, with Armstead out, the team will have to rely on backups to fill in. The Dolphins have a few options, including veteran Sam Young and rookie Robert Hunt.
It’s unclear how long Armstead will be out, but it’s likely he’ll miss multiple weeks. The Dolphins are already dealing with a number of injuries and this latest one is a big blow to their offensive line. It will be interesting to see how the team adjusts and who they turn to in order to fill in for Armstead in the meantime.
