Armstrong (ribs) is active for Sunday's game against the Bears, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports. Armstrong injured his ribs in Week 6 against the Ravens, and the injury is severe enough for him to be sidelined against the Panthers in Week 7. The 2018 fourth-round pick was limited in practice all week, and while he's unlikely to be at 100 percent health, he'll suit up for Sunday's contest. Armstrong has logged 12 tackles (four solo), including 3.0 sacks, and one forced fumble through six regular-season games.

Armstrong (ribs) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears. The first-year Commander missed Washington's Week 7 win over the Panthers due to a ribs injury, but he has a chance to return Sunday after practicing in a limited fashion throughout the week. If Armstrong can't play through the issue in Week 8, expect Efe Obada to see increased reps with Washington's first-team defense.

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Friday that Armstrong (ribs) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, John Keim of ESPN.com reports. Armstrong will miss at least one game due to the ribs injury he sustained during Washington's loss to the Ravens in Week 6. Quinn said Armstrong "had a good week but he's not there yet." The veteran defensive end's next chance to take the field will come Week 8 versus Chicago.

Head coach Dan Quinn told reporters that Armstrong will undergo further testing on his ribs injury Monday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports. Armstrong exited in the first half and did not return to Sunday's loss to the Ravens after sustaining a ribs injury. Monday's tests and Armstrong's practice participation this week will likely provide the best indication on whether the 27-year-old can suit up for the Commanders' Week 7 matchup against the Panthers.

Armstrong hurt his ribs Sunday versus Baltimore and is questionable to return. Armstrong was hurt in the first half, and it's unclear if he'll be able to return to the game. The defensive end has been a key part of the Commanders' pass rush this season, playing over half of the team's defensive snaps in each contest coming into Sunday and tallying 3.0 sacks. Javontae Jean-Baptiste could see more action if Armstrong doesn't return Sunday.
