Armstead (hand) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts. The veteran defensive tackle officially has been 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.

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

Armstead (hand) 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. 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.

Armstead recorded two tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, in the Jaguars' win over the 49ers on Sunday. Armstead has at least 0.5 sacks in three straight games, and his sack of Brock Purdy late in the fourth quarter forced a fumble that teammate Foyesade Oluokun recovered to seal the five-point win for the Jaguars. On the season, Armstead has six tackles (three solo), including 2.5 sacks, on 70 percent of the defensive snaps.
-
Armstead (back) isn't on Jacksonville's injury report Wednesday. Armstead appears to be past the back issue that kept him from taking part in any preseason contests. The veteran defensive lineman played in all 17 regular-season games with Jacksonville last year and is slated for a prominent role again in 2025.
