Out for rest of season
Coach Dan Quinn said Monday that Armstrong (knee) will miss the remainder of the season, Commanders writer Ben Standig reports.
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.

Likely missing time
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.
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.

Doesn't practice Thursday
Armstrong (hamstring) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
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 likely 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.

Opens week with DNP
Armstrong (hamstring) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's estimated injury report.
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.

Emerges as pass-rush threat
Armstrong recorded 33 tackles (17 solo), including a career-high 8.5 sacks, through 17 regular-season games in 2022. He added a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries.
Analysis: With offensive lines focusing a lot of energy on trying to slow down Micah Parsons, the Cowboys' other pass rushers found a lot of success winning 1-on-1 matchups. Armstrong was no exception, as the fifth-year defensive end came into the season with only 7.5 career sacks. He has one more year left on his current contract, and another strong campaign opposite Parsons could set Armstrong up for a big payday in 2024, assuming Dallas doesn't sign him to an extension before then.

Forces fumble in win
Armstrong made one sack and also forced a fumble in Monday's 37-18 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Armstrong posted one of the best performances of his 2019 campaign in his return from a neck injury that kept him sidelined in Week 7 prior to the Cowboys' bye. The addition of fellow defensive end Michael Bennett could limit Armstrong's opportunities moving forward, however.
