Overview

• Armstead has been sidelined indefinitely with a back injury and has missed the past three practices.
• Coach Liam Coen said it is hard to predict whether Armstead will be ready for the Sept. 7 opener against the Carolina Panthers.
• Through the first eight training camp sessions, Armstead participated only in individual drills and has yet to take part in full-team practice.
• After recording just two sacks as an edge rusher in 2024, he requested a return to his natural role at interior defensive tackle.
• Defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile emphasizes that Armstead’s interior presence would provide a significant boost to Jacksonville’s defensive line.
