Armah (coach's decision) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Armah avoided an injury designation after sitting out the previous two games with a hamstring injury, but he'll end up being a healthy scratch Sunday versus Miami.

Commanders' Alex Armah: Will suit up vs. Dolphins
Rotowire
Armah (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game versus the Dolphins, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Armah will return to action in Week 13 after he sat out of Washington's last two games due to a hamstring injury he sustained in Week 10 at Seattle. He figures to see around 5-to-10 offensive snaps as a lead blocker Sunday.

Commanders' Alex Armah: Out for Thursday at Dallas
Rotowire
Armah (hamstring) is listed as out for Thursday's game at the Cowboys.
Armah will sit out his second straight game in Week 12 as he nurses a hamstring injury he sustained in Week 10 at Seattle. The Commanders gave 2021 fourth-round tight end John Bates a season-high 44 offensive snaps in Week 11 with Armah out, suggesting Bates might be the prime beneficiary of Armah's absence in terms of playing time.

Commanders' Alex Armah: Exits game with leg injury
Rotowire
Armah is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Seahawks after sustaining a hamstring injury, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Armah has primarily played on special teams and as a lead blocker on offense this season. The Commanders' run game will take a hit if Armah is unable to return to Sunday's game.

Alex Armah: Added to Commanders' practice squad
Rotowire
Armah was signed to the Commanders' practice squad Wednesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
After being released by the team while dealing with an undisclosed injury to open the season, Armah will return to Washington's practice unit Wednesday. The fullback played in 11 games last season with New Orleans and Washington, turning five carries into 21 yards while reeling in a one-yard touchdown catch over 70 offensive snaps. Armah will provide additional backfield depth behind the likes of Brian Robinson and Antonio Gibson.

Commanders' Alex Armah: Lands on IR
Rotowire
The Commanders placed Armah (undisclosed) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Barring an injury settlement, Armah will be sidelined for the remainder of the 2022 season. The 2017 sixth-round pick appeared in 11 games last year -- spilt between New Orleans and Washington -- and mostly operated on special teams.

Alex Armah: Joins Washington practice squad
Rotowire
Armah signed with Washington's practice squad Thursday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Armah has longstanding connections with coach Ron Rivera, who was coaching the Panthers when they drafted the fullback in 2017. While he's more of a blocker than a runner, Armah could get an opportunity with the main roster if the injuries to Antonio Gibson (shin) or J.D. McKissic (concussion) keep either running back out of game action.

Saints' Alex Armah: Joins active roster
Rotowire
Armah was signed to the Saints' active roster Friday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Armah spent training camp with the Saints, but he was ultimately let go during the final roster cuts. However, he subsequently landed on New Orleans' practice squad and will now get a chance to see the field on the active roster. He will presumably be used primarily for special teams and blocking situations.

Saints' Alex Armah: Signs with NFC South foe
Rotowire
Armah signed with the Saints on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Armah played 55 games for the Panthers over the past four seasons. He was mostly used in a blocking role, but he managed to score three touchdowns anyway. This signing likely means that fullback Michael Burton won't return to New Orleans. Burton averaged roughly 14 offensive snaps per game in 2020, so Armah can expect a similar role during his first season in the Big Easy.

Panthers' Alex Armah: Plays all 16 games
Rotowire
Armah finished the 2020 season with six rushes for nine yards and five receptions on nine targets for 18 yards in 16 games.
Armah once again served as Carolina's fullback, playing all 16 games for a third straight season. Unlike the prior two campaigns, though, Armah wasn't able to find the end zone at all, and he was featured on less than 15 percent of the Panthers' total offensive snaps. As one of the few true fullbacks in the league with experience filling an occasional offensive role, the veteran should garner interest as a free agent this offseason.

Panthers' Alex Armah: Secures only target
Rotowire
Armah hauled in his only target during Sunday's 32-27 loss to the Broncos.
Armah's lone catch only got back to the line of scrimmage, but it's notable that he did draw a look in the red zone for the first time since Week 6. On a less positive note, the fullback has played just seven combined offensive snaps over the last two weeks. That's his lowest usage over a two-game stretch all season.

Panthers' Alex Armah: Garners one target
Rotowire
Armah failed to catch his lone target during Sunday's win over the Lions.
The 26-year-old continues to see a handful of snaps per contest, and he averaged less than one touch per game. Armah has five carries for six yards and three catches for nine yards in 11 games this season.

Panthers' Alex Armah: Scores touchdown this season
Rotowire
Armah finished the 2019 season with six carries for 11 yards and a touchdown and two receptions for six yards across 16 games.
Armah again served as Carolina's fullback this season, and though that role doesn't lend itself to much fantasy value, he was at least turned in a one-yard touchdown plunge in Week 1. The veteran remains under contract with the Panthers next season, so expect him to reprise his usual duties as a lead blocker for star running back Christian McCaffrey.

Panthers' Alex Armah: Sprinkled in Sunday
Rotowire
Armah rushed once for four yards and caught his lone target for two yards in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Cardinals.
Armah now sports three touches through three games, showing the Panthers still keep their fullback in mind outside of blocking duties. Still, that spare usage hardly lands Armah on the fantasy radar.

Panthers' Alex Armah: Could factor into tight-end mix
Rotowire
Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said Thursday that he expects Armah to earn reps at tight end in the team's Week 2 game against the Falcons, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
The Panthers officially list Armah as a fullback, but with Greg Olsen (foot) expected to be sidelined for at least a few weeks, the team requires additional depth at tight end. Though he scored on a goal-line carry in Carolina's season-opening win over the Cowboys, the 6-foot-2, 255-pound Armah is mainly valued for his blocking, and that's likely what he'll be tasked with nearly any time he lines up at tight end. Neither Armah nor Chris Manhertz is expected to draw many targets whenever on the field, with rookie fourth-round pick Ian Thomas instead representing the most likely candidate of the position group to see increased involvement as a pass catcher while Olsen is out.

Panthers' Alex Armah: Dealing with leg bruise
Rotowire
Armah did not participate in Sunday's practice due to a bruised leg, Jourdan Rodrigue of the Charlotte Observer reports.
Armah's leg bruise isn't expected to keep him sidelined from training camp for very long, while the Panthers didn't force their lone fullback to practice Sunday. Carolina will hope to have Armah back in time for their preseason opener against the Bills on Thursday.

Panthers' Alex Armah: Inactive for Sunday's game
Rotowire
Armah (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with Tampa Bay.
Armah was limited in practice on Wednesday before sitting out sessions on both Thursday and Friday. His absence will leave Carolina without a healthy fullback, possibly leading to some extra snaps for Cameron Artis-Payne or Christian McCaffrey.
