Arik Armstead Injury News & Updates
Nov 30, 2025
Won't play vs. Tennessee
Armstead (hand) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Armstead was added to Saturday's injury report due to a hand injury, which is severe enough for him to be sidelined for Sunday's AFC South tilt. His absence means Austin Johnson, Maason Smith and Matt Dickerson are all candidates for increased snaps at defensive tackle alongside starter DaVon Hamilton. Armstead will look to progress enough in his recovery to return for Week 14 against the Colts on Sunday, Dec. 7.
Nov 29, 2025
Added to injury report
Armstead 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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 1, 2025
Another sack in Week 4 win
Armstead recorded two tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, in the Jaguars' win over the 49ers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
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.
Sep 3, 2025
Fades first injury report
Armstead (back) isn't on Jacksonville's injury report Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
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.
Aug 17, 2025
Won't play Sunday
Armstead (back) will not play in Sunday's preseason game against the Saints.
ANALYSIS
Armstead isn't expected to play in the preseason while he works through a back injury, which is severe enough for him to be in jeopardy of missing the Jaguars' regular-season opener against the Panthers on Sunday, Sept. 7. With Armstead and Maason Smith both not playing, Austin Johnson, Jordan Jefferson and Tyler Lacy are the top candidates to get snaps at defensive tackle with the first-team defensive next to DaVon Hamilton.
Aug 6, 2025
Dealing with back injury
Armstead's back injury could be considered more serious as there's questions whether the veteran will be ready for Week 1, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead was originally considered to be taking a "veteran start" to training camp as he missed practice Friday, but it appears the veteran's back injury continues to linger. Though the 31-year-old is still considered day-to-day, the Jaguars' head coach, Liam Coen, was unsure if Armstead will be ready for Week 1. Coen isn't concerned about the veteran defensive tackle's extended absence, saying, "He's a veteran who, ultimately, he'll probably know how to get himself ready to go."
Aug 1, 2025
Dealing with back issue
Armstead was considered day-to-day with back soreness Friday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
ANALYSIS
It doesn't sound like Armstead is tending to anything too serious, and it would make sense if Jacksonville just wanted to give the veteran some extra rest. Until he's back up to full speed, 2024 fourth-rounder Jordan Jefferson could get some time with the starters on the interior of the defensive line.
Jan 10, 2025
Disappoints in Jacksonville
Armstead tallied 29 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and three passes defended over 17 games in 2024.
ANALYSIS
The veteran defensive lineman inked a three-year, $51 million deal with the Jaguars this past offseason after spending the first nine seasons of his career with the 49ers. Armstead's first season in Jacksonville was underwhelming, as he recorded just 2.0 sacks, tying his rookie year for the lowest total of his career while appearing in 16 or more games in a season. However, the 31-year-old did tie his career high in passes defended in a single season. Having signed a large contract with Jacksonville in 2024, Armstead is expected to remain one of the team's top interior defensive linemen in 2025.
Sep 9, 2024
Secures sack in team debut
Armstead recorded a sack in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Armstead was able to make a splash play in his debut with the Jaguars, sacking Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa for a five-yard loss in the third quarter. The 30-year-old will look to establish himself as a force for Jacksonville on the team's interior defensive line in 2024 after spending the first nine seasons of his career with San Francisco.
Sep 4, 2024
Should face no restrictions
Armstead (knee) should be a full participant during practice this week, Juston Lewis of The Florida Times-Union reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead suffered a torn meniscus last season while with the 49ers, which led to him spending most of training camp recovering on the PUP list. Head coach Doug Pederson said they'll "see how he is," but no limitations are expected for the 30-year-old as they prepare for a Week 1 matchup with the Dolphins.
Aug 13, 2024
Comes off PUP list
The Jaguars activated Armstead (knee) from the active/PUP list Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Armstead has passed his physical and is ready to participate in practice for the first time this training camp. The 6-foot-7 defensive tackle missed the start of camp while recovering from offseason surgery to repair a torn meniscus. The 30-year-old defensive tackle inked a three-year, $51 million contract with Jacksonville in March and will now anchor his new team's interior D-line.
Aug 12, 2024
Could return next week
Head coach Doug Pederson relayed Monday that Armstead (knee) could return from the active/PUP list sometime next week, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead is in the final stages of his recovery from offseason surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee. Should he return to practice next week, he'll likely be held out of the Jaguars' preseason finale against the Falcons and aim to be up to game speed for Week 1 against the Dolphins on Sept. 8. Armstead signed a three-year, $51 million contract with Jacksonville in March after spending the first nine years of his career with San Francisco. The 30-year-old Armstead is set to be an integral piece to the Jaguars' defensive front alongside Josh Hines-Allen, DaVon Hamilton and Travon Walker.
Aug 2, 2024
Close to returning
Armstead (knee) is close to returning to the practice field according to head coach Doug Pederson, Demetrius Harvey of the Jacksonville Florida Times-Union reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead has been recovering from an offseason knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee and was placed on the active/PUP since the start of training camp. The 6-foot-7 defensive tackle's return date has not yet been confirmed, but Pederson did say the big man could return "any day."
Jul 20, 2024
Goes on PUP list
The Jaguars placed Armstead (knee) on the active/PUP list Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Armstead is continuing to recover offseason knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee. He was initially expected to be ready for the start of training camp but isn't yet up to full speed. However, Armstead can be activated at any point during camp and is eligible to be play in the preseason.
Jun 3, 2024
Should be ready by camp
Armstead (knee) will probably be ready for training camp, Zach Goodall of The Jaguars Wire reports.
ANALYSIS
The defensive tackle played through a torn meniscus during San Francisco's Super Bowl run last season before having surgery in the offseason. Armstead signed a three-year, $51-million deal with Jacksonville despite the injury. The veteran finished with 27 tackles, including 5.0 sacks, in 2023.
Mar 14, 2024
Landing in Jacksonville
The Jaguars are slated to sign Armstead (knee) on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead, whose deal is reportedly for three years and $51 million, per Adam Schefter of ESPN, immediately becomes a linchpin of Jacksonville's defensive front, fixing a huge need for the team along the interior of the defensive line. The 30-year-old is recovering from surgery undergone to address a torn meniscus, which he played through during the 49ers' postseason run.
Mar 13, 2024
Release made official
Armstead (knee) was released by the 49ers on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Releasing Armstead will save the team $18 million in cap space in 2024. The 49ers were interested in retaining the veteran defensive tackle, but they will go their separate ways after failing to agree on a restructured deal. Armstead is recovering from surgery on a torn meniscus through which he played during the postseason, but he's expected to have a robust market in free agency nonetheless. San Francisco agreed to a trade for Texans defensive tackle Maliek Collins to help fill the hole created by Armstead's departure.
Mar 10, 2024
Set to be released by San Francisco
The 49ers are expected to release Armstead in the coming days, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead is entering the final year of his five-year, $85 million deal and carries a 2024 cap hit of greater than $28.3 million, third-highest on the 49ers. By designating Armstead as a post-June 1 cut, the Niners would clear over $18 million in cap space, leaving behind $10.3 million in dead money. The 30-year-old missed five more games in 2023 after missing eight the previous season. He has just 14.5 sacks since recording 10 in 2019.
Feb 13, 2024
Will require surgery
Armstead will require surgery to repair a torn meniscus, Nick Wagoner of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead suffered a torn meniscus during the team's Week 13 win over the Eagles but managed to play through it during the postseason. The 2015 first-round pick is now set to undergo surgery to repair it and will look to be back in time for training camp.
Feb 9, 2024
Absent from injury report
Armstead (foot/knee) is not listed on the 49ers' final injury report ahead of Sunday's Super Bowl matchup with the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
After back-to-back limited practices to start the week, Armstead logged a full workload Friday. Barring any setbacks with his foot and knee injuries, he should take on his usual role on the interior defensive line.
Feb 7, 2024
Gets in limited practice
Armstead (foot/knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Kyle Shanahan said he hopes both Armstead and George Kittle (toe) will be able to get in full practices Thursday. Neither player sounds to be in any real danger of missing Sunday's Super Bowl against the Chiefs. Armstead played his normal allotment of snaps (74 percent) two weeks ago against the Lions in the NFC Championship Game.
Feb 2, 2024
No designation after one week of SB prep
Armstead (foot/knee) did not participate in Friday's practice but doesn't have an injury designation after the first week of prep for Super Bowl LVIII against the Chiefs, Josh Dubow of The Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran defensive lineman has now logged back-to-back DNPs after opening San Francisco's week of practice with a full session, but it seems as if his foot and ankle issues won't stop him from suiting up for the Super Bowl. Even if Armstead is limited in practice next week, he appears to be ready to take on the Chiefs come Feb. 11.
Feb 1, 2024
Misses practice Thursday
Armstead (foot/knee) did not participate in practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
The starting defensive tackle was a full participant in Wednesday's session after playing in the 49ers' divisional playoff and NFC Championship wins over the Packers and Lions. Armstead did miss the final five games of the regular season with the same issues. The 30-year-old's status during Friday's session of the Super Bowl bye week will be worth monitoring.
Jan 18, 2024
Good to go for divisional round
Armstead (foot/knee) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Saturday's divisional-round matchup versus Green bay.
ANALYSIS
Armstead was sidelined for the final five games of the season while tending to foot and knee issues. The stalwart defensive tackle logged a full practice for the second day in a row Thursday after opening the week of practice as a limited participant, and he'll be ready to go for the 49ers' opening playoff game. Armstead logged 27 tackles and five sacks over the first 12 games of the season, and he should reprise a primary role alongside Javon Hargrave and Sebastian Joseph-Day.
Jan 17, 2024
Full practice Wednesday
Armstead (foot/knee) was a full participant at the 49ers' practice Wednesday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead opened the week as a limited participant Tuesday, but Wednesday's full workload dispels any concern for his availability for Saturday's matchup with the Packers in the divisional round. The defensive tackle missed the 49ers' final five games of the regular season while nursing a foot injury and he appears set to make his return to the field versus Green Bay.
Jan 16, 2024
Opens week with limited work
Armstead (foot/knee) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead missed the 49ers' last five games due to a foot issue and it seems as if he may be nearing a return to the field after Tuesday's limited session. The 30-year-old would be a huge addition to a San Francisco defense tasked with stopping a Packers offense that's rushed for over 100 yards in each of their last four games in the divisional round, so his practice participation will be something to look out for over the next few days.
Jan 9, 2024
Nearing return to practice
Armstead (foot) is expected to return to practice with the 49ers this week, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead missed the team's final five contests of the regular season while nursing plantar fasciitis, but he could be nearing a return. The defensive tackle will look to take advantage of San Francisco's bye week in the wild-card round this weekend and attempt to be on the field for their first postseason game in the divisional round.
Jan 5, 2024
Out again for Week 18
Armstead (foot) is out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead will miss his fifth straight game to close out the regular season. The Niners have already clinched the top seed in the NFC, so Armstead was always unlikely to play in this game. With a Wild Card bye, perhaps Armstead will be able to get cleared in the next two weeks in time for the Divisional Round.
Dec 31, 2023
Missing another game
Armstead (foot) is inactive for Sunday's Week 17 clash against the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
Armstead will miss a fourth straight contest as he battles plantar fasciitis in his foot. The defensive tackle hasn't practiced at all since Week 13 prep, so his status for next Sunday's season finale versus the Rams is in question as well. San Francisco signed Sebastian Joseph-Day to a contract this week to help fortify the team's defensive line in Armstead's absence.
Dec 23, 2023
Sidelined by plantar fasciitis
Armstead (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Ravens, Cam Inman of The Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead will miss a third consecutive game, but the 49ers could be getting some reinforcements on the interior of their defensive line, as fellow defensive tackle Javon Hargrave (hamstring) is listed as questionable after missing the Week 15 win over Arizona. Per David Lombardi of The Athletic, the 49ers are more concerned with Armstead's foot injury than the knee injury that has also bothered him lately. Armstead is dealing with plantar fasciitis in his foot, which also bothered him last year.
Dec 15, 2023
Will miss another contest
Armstead (foot) won't play in Sunday's Week 15 game against Arizona, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead missed his first game of the season last Sunday against Seattle, and he'll sit out a second straight contest Week 15. The veteran didn't practice at all this week, and it's not yet clear if he has a chance to return to face Baltimore on Christmas Day. Javon Hargrave (hamstring) has also been ruled out for this Sunday's game, leaving Javon Kinlaw, Kevin Givens and Kalia Davis to hold down the fort at defensive tackle.
Dec 11, 2023
Could miss Week 15
Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports Monday that Armstead (foot/knee) could be out for Week 15 against the Cardinals
ANALYSIS
Armstead was unable to practice leading up to Sunday's 28-16 win over the Seahawks after playing through a foot injury the week prior against the Eagles. With Javon Hargrave's status for Week 15 up in the air as he deals with a hamstring injury, the 49ers may start Kevin Givens and Javon Kinlaw at defensive tackle alongside edge rushers Chase Young and Joey Bosa, while Kalia Davis provides interior depth.
Dec 8, 2023
Will sit out versus Seattle
Armstead (foot/knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead was able to play through a foot injury in the 49ers' Week 13 win over the Eagles. However, the veteran defensive tackle played just 32 defensive snaps last Sunday and was unable to practice in any capacity this week. It will be the first game Armstead will not suit up this season. Kevin Givens and Javon Kinlaw are candidates to start alongside Javon Hargrave in Armstead's absence.
Dec 6, 2023
Unlikely to play Sunday
Armstead (foot/knee) did not practice Wednesday and head coach Kyle Shanahan would be "surprised" if he plays Sunday against the Seahawks, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead entered Week 13 dealing with a foot injury which he was able to play through; however, the 30-year-old also picked up a knee injury during the game, which may now be the bigger issue, but that hasn't been made clear. Assuming Armstead will be absent from Week 14, Javon Kinlaw and Kevin Givens will likely be called upon to step up in his place.
Dec 4, 2023
Dealing with multiple injuries
Armstead, who played through a foot injury in Sunday's win over the Eagles, is also dealing with a knee issue, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead's status for Week 14 seems to be up in the air, as the team is still not aware of the extent of his injuries, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. The 49ers are expected to have a better idea of status moving forward come Wednesday when the team returns to practice.
Dec 3, 2023
Active Sunday
Armstead (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
The defensive tackle missed practice Wednesday and Thursday before participating on a limited basis Friday. Armstead has 26 tackles, including five sacks, this season.
Dec 1, 2023
Questionable for Sunday
Armstead (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran defensive lineman seems to be trending in the right direction to play Sunday, as he was able to log a limited practice session Friday after recording DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday. If Armstead is unable to suit up this weekend, Kevin Givens will likely see a larger role on the 49ers' defensive line.
Oct 31, 2023
Explodes for two sacks in loss
Armstead had four tackles (two solo) including two sacks in Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
Armstead had just 0.5 sacks heading into Week 8, but was able to get to Joe Burrow on two separate occasions Sunday. His 2.5 sacks on the year is fourth-best on the team behind Nick Bosa, Javon Hargrave and Drake Jackson, each of whom have three. Armstead has improved in the sack category from 2022 when he had zero sacks in eight games and will look to build on that total after the bye against the Jaguars in Week 10.
Sep 12, 2023
Silent in Week 1 win
Armstead went without a tackle in the 49ers' Week 1 win over the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Armstead finished with zero tackles for the second straight regular season game dating back to Week 18 of the 2022 campaign. He'll look to get back on track in Week 2 versus the Rams.
Jan 12, 2023
Ready for playoffs
Armstead (foot/ankle) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's wild-card matchup versus the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
Armstead has dealt with a persistent foot/ankle dating back to Week 2. While he was once again limited during the first two practices heading into Saturday, the 29-year-old will be ready to suit up for his seventh game in a row after logging a full session Thursday. Armstead should continue to serve a prominent role on the interior of San Francisco's defensive line alongside Javon Kinlaw (knee), who also does not carry a designation leading into the first round of the playoffs.
Jan 11, 2023
Limited again Wednesday
Armstead (ankle) logged his second straight limited practice session Wednesday ahead of San Francisco's wild-card game against the Seahawks on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Armstead has been dealing with a foot/ankle issue for much of the campaign, though he was able to play in each of the 49ers' contests between Week 13 and 18. He has opened the practice week with back-to-back limited sessions, as he has done every week since Week 13. That suggests he'll probably be ready for Saturday's wild-card contest against Seattle, during which he'll likely handle his usual starting role along the defensive line.
Jan 10, 2023
Still on injury report Tuesday
Armstead (ankle) was a limited participant during the 49ers' practice Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Armstead will once again open San Francisco's week of practice with an injury designation. The 29-year-old previously missed seven consecutive games while dealing with these foot and ankle injuries, though he suited up during each of the final six weeks of the regular season. Fellow defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw (knee) was also a limited participant Tuesday, though, barring additional setbacks, it's likely both he and Armstead will be available for Saturday's wild-card game against the Seahawks.
Jan 8, 2023
Will play Sunday
Armstead (foot/ankle) is active Sunday against the Cardinals, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead has been dealing with the injury throughout the season, but he'll continue to play through it. His ability to take the field once again should be good news for the 49ers' defensive front.
Jan 6, 2023
Status up in the air Week 18
Armstead (foot/ankle) has been deemed questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Armstead has been tending to a foot/ankle injury for almost the entire season though he's played over 60 percent of defensive snaps in each of San Francisco's past four games. The 29-year-old opened Week 18 prep with back-to-back limited practices before sitting the entirety of Friday's sessions. With Kevin Givens (knee) remaining out and Javon Kinlaw (knee) also considered questionable to play, it's possible San Francisco could be down to just one healthy defensive tackle in T.Y. McGill if Kalia Davis (undisclosed) is not activated from the reserve/non-football list before Sunday.
Dec 9, 2022
No injury designation
Armstead doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead was limited during the first two practices of Week 14 prep due to foot and ankle injuries, but he was upgraded to a full participant Friday and is good to go for Sunday. The veteran defensive lineman returned from a six-game absence in Week 13 but didn't record a tackle across 20 plays. Armstead likely remains off the IDP radar as long as he's playing fewer than half of the 49ers' defensive snaps.
Dec 7, 2022
Logs partial practice
Armstead (foot/ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead made his return from a seven-game absence streak this past Sunday against the Dolphins due to a foot/ankle injury, but he ultimately failed to record any stats on just 20 defensive snaps played in the contest. The 29-year-old's ability to participate in Wednesday's session in any capacity puts him on track to suit up again this weekend versus Tampa Bay, though he could see his snaps capped for a second consecutive matchup.
Dec 2, 2022
Good to go for Week 13
Armstead doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead returned to full participation Friday and is good to go against the Dolphins after being limited during the first two sessions of Week 13 prep due to foot and ankle injuries. Sunday's matchup will mark the veteran's first game action since Week 4, so he'll likely be limited following a lengthy absence.
Dec 1, 2022
Expects to play in Week 13
Armstead (foot, ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead shared that he plans to play Sunday against the Dolphins even after logging a limited practice Thursday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. Expect the 29-year-old defensive tackle to return to action in Week 13 after missing Week 12. If Armstead faces any setbacks, it's likely that T.Y. McGill could see some snaps in relief.
Dec 1, 2022
Plans to return Week 13
Armstead (foot/ankle) said Thursday that he plans to play Sunday against the Dolphins, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead has not played since suffering a foot/ankle injury during the 49ers' Week 4 win against the Rams, though he did return to practice in a limited fashion last Friday before ultimately being ruled inactive Week 12. The 29-year-old defensive tackle was also limited during practice Wednesday, though it's still unknown if he was able to increase his activity Thursday. Armstead's status on Friday's final injury report should provide more clarity on his chances to play against Miami.
Nov 27, 2022
Remains sidelined Sunday
Armstead (foot/ankle) has been ruled inactive for Sunday's game versus the Saints.
ANALYSIS
Armstead will miss his seventh game in a row due to a lingering foot/ankle injury. The 29-year-old defensive tackle recorded five tackles over three games this season, and his next opportunity to suit up will come against the Dolphins on Sunday, Dec. 4. With Armstead out, practice-squad elevation T.Y. McGill will serve as San Francisco's only available defensive tackle behind starters Kevin Givens and Hassan Ridgeway.
Nov 25, 2022
Likely out Week 12
Armstead (foot/ankle) is considered doubtful to play Sunday versus the Saints, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead has yet to play after suffering a foot/ankle injury during San Francisco's Week 4 win over the Rams, and he appears set to miss his seventh game in a row versus New Orleans. As a result, expect Kevin Givens and Hassan Ridgeway to once more serve as the 49ers' top defensive tackles Week 12.
Nov 19, 2022
Won't play Monday
Armstead (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against Arizona, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead will miss a sixth straight game due to a foot injury after failing to practice during Week 11 prep. In his extended absence, Hassan Ridgeway and Kevin Givens have garnered increased roles.
Nov 18, 2022
Sidelined again Friday
Armstead (foot/ankle) did not practice Friday, 49ers Webzone reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead has been sidelined since Week 4, though coach Kyle Shanahan began the week with some optimism that Armstead would be able to suit up Monday against the Cardinals. However, after logging two DNPs, it appears that Armstead is trending toward another absence. He'll have one more opportunity to log a practice before his status for Week 11 is determined.
Nov 17, 2022
Unable to practice Thursday
Armstead (foot/leg) was unable to participate in the 49ers' practice Thursday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead has been sidelined since Week 4 primarily due to a right foot injury. While the 28-year-old hasn't played in weeks, coach Kyle Shanahan shared earlier in the week that the defensive end has a chance to play in Week 11, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. Armstead will likely need to log at least one limited practice before Monday if he hopes to suit up against Arizona
Nov 14, 2022
Status for Week 11 uncertain
San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Armstead (foot/leg) "does have a chance" to play Week 11 against Arizona but was noncommittal about whether the defensive lineman would practice this week, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead hasn't played since Week 4 as he's been dealing with a hairline fracture in his left fibula along with plantar fasciitis in his right foot. Though it's encouraging that Shanahan said Armstead could play this week, it's not clear how likely that scenario is given that a return-to-practice timeline doesn't appear to be set. Armstead will likely slide back into a starting role whenever he's ready to return.
Nov 11, 2022
Ruled out for Sunday
Armstead (foot) was listed as out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead has been sidelined since Week 4 while dealing with a plantar fascia on his right foot to go along with a hairline fracture of his left fibula, according to San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan. The 28-year-old remained out of practice this week, and his timeline for a return is still unclear. In his absence, expect Hassan Ridgeway and Kevin Givens to once again start at defensive tackle this Sunday against the Chargers.
Nov 9, 2022
Still not practicing
Armstead (foot) did not participate in practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Armstead has been nursing a foot injury since early in the campaign, though he tried to play through it in Week 4 against the Rams. The defensive lineman hasn't seen action since, and he may be in line to miss more time given confirmation by head coach Kyle Shanahan that Armstead is suffering from "a stress reaction and hairline fracture of his left fibula and plantar fascia on his right foot," per Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area. Hassan Ridgeway is likely to continue filling in for however long Armstead remains out.
Oct 28, 2022
Deemed out for Week 8
Armstead (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Rams, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead will miss a fourth straight contest due to a lingering foot issue. The veteran defensive lineman's next chance to suit up will arrive after the 49ers' Week 9 bye against the Chargers on Nov. 13. In Armstead's absence, Hassan Ridgeway figures to continue playing a sizable role in the middle of San Francisco's defensive line.
Oct 26, 2022
Not practicing
Armstead (foot) was a DNP in San Francisco's practice Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
It's not surprising Armstead missed Wednesday's practice as he's been dealing with this foot injury since Week 3. The 6-foot-7 defensive tackle will have two days of practice before missing Sunday's game against the Rams, which would be his fourth consecutive game out.
Oct 21, 2022
Out again Sunday
Armstead (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's clash against the Chiefs, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead hurt his foot in Week 2 against Seattle and missed the Week 3 matchup versus Denver. He was able to return in Week 4 against the Rams but left that game early and hasn't played since. Armstead wasn't able to practice at all this week, so his status for Week 8 isn't promising.
Oct 20, 2022
Still not practicing
Armstead (foot) was a DNP in the 49ers' practice Wednesday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead has missed the 49ers' last two games due to a foot injury sustained in the team's Week 3 win against the Rams. The 6-foot-7 defensive tackle now will have two more practices to increase his activity before likely sitting out his fourth contest of the season Sunday versus Kansas City. Armstead recorded six sacks and a career-high 63 tackles while playing every regular-season game last year, and his return would be a big boost for San Francisco's defensive interior.
Oct 13, 2022
Sitting out Week 6
Armstead (foot) did not travel with the 49ers ahead of Sunday's road game against the Falcons, leaving him unlikely to play in this contest, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead appears set to miss his second game in a row due to a foot injury suffered during San Francisco's Week 3 win over the Rams. The 29-year-old has recorded four tackles over three games this season, and his likely absence will once again leave the 49ers' interior defensive under-manned. As a result, expect Kevin Givens and Hassan Ridgeway to start if fellow defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw (knee) is also sidelined Sunday.
Oct 12, 2022
Sitting out practice
Armstead (foot/ankle) did not practice Wednesday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead didn't suit up Week 5, and he now has just two more chances to log some amount of practice activity ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons. San Francisco's defensive line as a whole is in rough shape, so it would be a notable boost for the team if Armstead can return to action.
Oct 7, 2022
Unavailable Sunday
Armstead (foot/ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Carolina, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead was removed from Monday's game against the Rams due to a foot issue, and he'll likely also be unavailable for the 49ers' Week 6 matchup against Atlanta, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports. With Armstead and Javon Kinlaw (knee) out, Kevin Givens and Hassan Ridgeway should see increased playing time.
Oct 6, 2022
Doesn't participate Wednesday
Armstead (foot/ankle) was listed as a non-participant on the 49ers' injury report Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead recorded two tackles and played 30 defensive snaps before exiting Monday's win over the Rams with a foot injury. The 6-foot-7 defensive tackle also missed Week 3 with a foot issue and did not practice heading into the fourth game of the season, though he now appears to be dealing with an associated ankle injury as well. Armstead recorded a career-high 63 tackles, including six tackles, over 17 games last season, and he'll have two more practices to improve his status before Sunday's contest versus Carolina.
Oct 3, 2022
Forced out Monday
Armstead (foot) was ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Rams, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead did not practice Friday and was listed questionable with a foot injury on San Francisco's injury report Saturday, though he was ultimately ruled active Monday night. With Armstead out, the 49ers will be left with just two healthy defensive tackles in backups Kevin Givens and Hassan Ridgeway for the remainder of Monday's divisional matchup.
Oct 3, 2022
Will play Monday
Armstead (foot) is active Monday against the Rams, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead logged a limited practice Saturday after not being able to participate earlier in the week. His availability will be a boon to the 49ers defense as they look to stop the divisional-rival Rams on Monday night.
Oct 1, 2022
Uncertain for Week 4
Armstead (foot) practiced in limited fashion Saturday and is questionable for Monday's game against the Rams, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead failed to practice in any capacity during the week's first two sessions. However, he'll have the chance to return from a one-game absence and retake his prominent role along the San Francisco defensive line.
Sep 30, 2022
Still not practicing Friday
Armstead (foot) didn't practice Friday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
While Armstead remained sidelined for a second straight practice due to a foot issue that cost him Week 3, Barrow does note in his report that the defensive tackle was going through his most extensive rehab routine since he suffered the injury. It appears Armstead is trending in the right direction, but he'll likely miss a second straight game if he doesn't return to practice Saturday. Javon Kinlaw (knee) is also dealing with an injury, so San Francisco may be down its top two defensive tackles for Monday's divisional clash with the Rams.
Sep 29, 2022
Unable to practice Thursday
Armstead (foot) didn't practice Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead suffered an unspecified foot issue during the 49ers' Week 2 win over the Seahawks. The defensive end was unable to practice the week leading up to Week 3 and ultimately couldn't play against the Broncos. Expect Hassan Ridgeway to continue to see plenty of snaps until Armstead is able to return.
Sep 25, 2022
Sidelined against Broncos
Armstead (foot) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead didn't practice at all during the week, so it's not particularly surprising that he is unable to suit up. Hassan Ridgeway will likely take on a heavy workload in Armstead's absence.
Sep 23, 2022
Questionable for Sunday
Armstead (foot) is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Broncos, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but he'll still have a chance to suit up Sunday. If he's sidelined, Kevin Givens and Hassan Ridgeway would be candidates for increased roles along San Francisco's defensive line.
Sep 21, 2022
Sidelined Wednesday
Armstead (foot) was listed as a non-participant on the 49ers' injury report Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead appears to have picked up an unspecified foot issue at some point during Sunday's 27-7 victory against Seattle. While the 28-year-old defensive tackle still managed to record one tackle while playing 68 percent of San Francisco's defensive snaps in Week 2, it is possible that he suffered this injury near the end of this game. Should Armstead continue to miss practice throughout this week, Kevin Givens and Hassan Ridgeway would be next in line to start during this Sunday's game against Denver.
Sep 7, 2022
Returns in full
Armstead (knee) was a full participant during the 49ers' practice Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead was relegated to individual work to the side throughout much of San Francisco's training camp after he sprained his knee during practice in late July. The 6-foot-7 defensive end's rehab work now appears to be over given his participation in Wednesday's practice. Armstead has recorded 48 tackles while playing every game for the 49ers' over the past four seasons, and should once again serve as a dominant force on the interior of the team's defensive front when healthy in 2022.
Aug 10, 2022
May return for joint practices
49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that Armstead (knee) could return for joint practices with Minnesota next week, Brian Murphy of KNBR 104.5 reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead suffered a knee sprain during one of the first practices of training camp and has remained sidelined since. However, he's slowly working his way back with light rehab work and could return to full practices by as soon as next week. The 28-year-old racked up six sacks and a career-high 63 tackles over 17 games last season.
Aug 5, 2022
Working to the side in practice
Armstead (knee) was seen running to the side early on during San Francisco's practice Friday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead is expected to miss a few weeks after suffering a knee sprain during the 49ers' practice last week Wednesday, and this light work off to the side is an encouraging sign for his overall health. The 28-year-old racked up six sacks and a career-high 63 tackles over 17 games last season, so it is likely that the team will take every precaution as they work him back onto the field heading into the regular season.
Jul 29, 2022
Hurts knee in practice
Armstead (knee) suffered a sprained knee Wednesday and is expected to miss multiple weeks of practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
Though fortunately it's just a sprain for Armstead, the Niners will presumably play things safe with their 28-year-old defensive lineman. Samson Ebukam and 2022 second-round pick Drake Jackson should see an increase in reps at camp until Armstead returns to his place along San Francisco's intimidating front four ahead of Week 1.
Mar 16, 2022
Restructures contract
Amstead agreed to restructure his contract with the 49ers on Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead and teammate George Kittle both restructued their deals Wednesday, saving San Francisco a total of $18.8 million in cap space. The 28-year-old defensive tackle racked up 63 tackles and six sacks while appearing in all 17 regular-season games last year.
Nov 13, 2021
Good to go for MNF
Armstead (neck) doesn't carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Rams, Jourdan Rodrigue of the Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Things weren't looking good for Armstead after he failed to practice Friday, but he returned to full participation Saturday and subsequently avoided the final injury report. He'll look to build on his 10-tackle performance in Week 9 -- Armstead's first double-digit tackle output of the season.
Nov 11, 2021
Limited Thursday
Armstead was limited at Thursday's practice due to a neck injury.
ANALYSIS
The neck issue presumably stems from the 49ers' Week 9 loss to the Cardinals. Armstead's limited workload indicates it is not too serious, but his status the remainder of the week will need to be monitored. Charles Omenihu would presumably fill in should the 27-year-old ultimately have to miss any time.
Nov 10, 2021
Double-digit tackes in loss
Armstead recorded 10 tackles (two solo) and one sack during Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Armstead had his best outing of the season Sunday, notching a season-high 10 tackles and recording his second sack of the year. The 27-year-old defensive end hasn't been a viable IDP option this season, but that could change quickly if he can build off his performance against the Cardinals.
Sep 29, 2021
Gets to quarterback
Armstead recorded one tackle and one sack in Sunday's Week 3 loss to the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Armstead has battled an abdominal injury throughout the early portion of the season, though he's maintained a snap share at or above 60 percent in every game to this point. He managed his first sack of the campaign in Week 3, taking down Aaron Rodgers for an eight-yard loss early in second quarter. On the campaign, Armstead now has four tackles and one sack.
Sep 26, 2021
Will play Sunday
Armstead is active for Sunday's game against the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Armstead has yet to miss a game this season and will feature once again in this one. He has played at least 65 percent of the defensive snaps in each of his first two games and has recorded three tackles (one solo) thus far.
Sep 19, 2021
Playing Sunday
Armstead (abdomen) is listed as active Sunday in Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
The 49ers managed Armstead's practice reps this week, holding him out Wednesday before he logged a pair of limited sessions to wrap it up. After getting through a pregame workout unscathed, the pass rusher will be out there against an Eagles offensive line that allowed just one sack of Jalen Hurts in Week 1.
Sep 17, 2021
Questionable for Week 2
The 49ers listed Armstead (abdomen) as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Eagles, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After not practicing Wednesday, Armstead was able to work in a limited capacity Thursday and will likely be a game-time decision Sunday. Coach Kyle Shanahan stated previously in the week that he is confident that the 27-year-old will be available for Week 2.
Sep 16, 2021
Practices as limited participant
Armstead (abdomen) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Kyle Shanahan expressed optimism in Armstead's availability for Week 2 after the defensive end sat out Wednesday's practice, so it's not a major surprise to see him back on the field. The 27-year-old could avoid an injury designation for Sunday's matchup with the Eagles if he's able to practice fully Friday.
Sep 15, 2021
Isn't practicing Wednesday
Armstead (abdomen) isn't practicing Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Kyle Shanahan said he is confident that Armstead will be available Sunday, but he won't practice Wednesday out of an abundance of caution. The 27-year-old defensive end dealt with a groin injury during training camp, but he wasn't listed on the injury report ahead of Week 1 and played 73 total snaps.
Sep 8, 2021
Available for Week 1
Armstead (groin) isn't listed on the 49ers injury report Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Armstead has been nursing a groin injury since the beginning of August but the injury seems to have cleared up as the defensive end is no longer on the injured list. Armstead is slated to have a key role on the 49ers' defensive line if he can remain healthy.
Aug 6, 2021
Nursing groin injury
Armstead was a non-participant at Friday's practice due to a groin injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
There's no reason at this point to believe the 49ers are not just erring on the side of caution with Armstead in order to avoid a lingering issue. Still, the veteran's status should certainly be monitored in the immediate future. After a career year in 2019, he regressed from 10 sacks to just 3.5 this past season. Still, he projects to be a key cog on the team's defensive line in 2021.
Dec 21, 2020
Delivers two sacks
Armstead had eight tackles (five solo) and two sacks during Sunday's 41-33 loss to the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old paced the team in tackles, and it was also his first time in the sack column since Week 4. Armstead had 10 sacks in 2019 but has only 3.5 sacks through 14 games this season with San Francisco's depleted defensive line.
Nov 25, 2020
Returns from reserve/COVID-19 list
Armstead was activated from the reserve-COVID-19 list Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Armstead was placed on the list Nov. 16 but did not miss a game as the 49ers were on bye Week 11. He'll assume his usual starting spot along the defensive line for Sunday's matchup against the Rams.
Nov 16, 2020
Heads to COVID-19 list
The 49ers placed Armstead on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead has either tested positive for the virus or come into close contact with an infected person. He played 51 total snaps in Sunday's road loss to the Saints. The 49ers are on bye in Week 11, so Armstead has an extended period to clear the league's COVID-19 protocols and return to team activities.
Aug 16, 2020
Back injury not considered serious
Coach Kyle Shanahan stated that Armstead's back injury wasn't serious, and the team was just taking a cautious approach with its defensive lineman by holding him out of Saturday's practice, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Fresh off a five-year, $85 million extension, the 49ers are playing it safe with Armstead's minor back injury. Branch added that the 26-year-old will likely miss a few days of practice, with Wednesday marking a potential return date. Barring a setback, Armstead is poised to build off of a career year in 2019 as an every-down lineman both at the end (on early downs) and tackle (in nickel formations) positions.
Aug 15, 2020
Misses practice
Armstead missed Saturday's practice due to back irritation, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The severity of Armstead's back issue is not known at this time, but it was enough to keep him sidelined at practice. His absence means the likes of Dee Ford, Kerry Hyder, Dion Jordan and Jonathan Kongbo can see more reps at practice.
Mar 16, 2020
Re-ups with 49ers
The 49ers and Armstead agreed to a five-year contract Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead didn't receive the franchise tag from the 49ers, but with the potential to earn up to $85 million over the course of the deal, he can match the current valuation ($17 million per year) of that tag if he gets every incentive. In any case, he'll return to a formidable 49ers' defensive front, looking to build upon his 10-sack outburst opposite 2019 Defensive Rookie of the Year Nick Bosa.
Mar 16, 2020
Doesn't get tag
Armstead didn't receive a franchise tag, but he's discussing a contract to stay with the 49ers, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2015 first-round pick enjoyed a breakout season in 2019, with 10 sacks more than doubling his previous career total. The 49ers have enough pass-rushing talent to get by fine without Armstead, but that doesn't mean they'll simply accept losing him.
Feb 5, 2020
Open to franchise tag
Armstead relayed that he'd accept a franchise tag by the 49ers, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. "I would love being here," Armstead said. "Trying to go back to the Super Bowl, so however that is seen or has to get done, it's not really my decision what they want to do with me."
ANALYSIS
The 2015 first-round pick's rookie contract will expire in March, and he's set to become an unrestricted free agent. Armstead was a fixture on the 49ers' touted defensive front, as he averaged 49 defensive snaps per game and accrued career highs in tackles (54) and sacks (10) opposite of rookie Nick Bosa. Per OverTheCap, Armstead's franchise tag would cost the team approximately $19,316,000 against the salary cap.
Oct 31, 2019
Questionable return due to throat
Armstead's injury has been clarified as a throat injury, and his return to Thursday's game against the Cardinals is officially questionable, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead feels as if he has something stuck in this throat, and that has kept him on the sidelines since the first quarter.
Oct 31, 2019
Picks up injury
Armstead picked up an undisclosed injury in the first quarter of Thursday's game against Arizona, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead was being looked at by the medical staff on the sideline and was unable to return for the defense's next series. His return should be viewed as questionable at this time.
