  • Commanders' Dorance Armstrong: Sacks Penix in Week 17

    Armstrong recorded four total tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 30-24 overtime win over the Falcons.

    Armstrong has now logged a sack in two of his last three games after recording just 3.0 sacks over his first 12 contests this season. The 27-year-old stripped Michael Penix in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win, though the fumble was recovered by Atlanta. Armstrong has been relatively productive in his first season in Washington, tallying 36 total tackles, including 5.0 sacks, and two forced fumbles over 15 appearances. He's expected to continue starting opposite Dante Fowler as part of the Commanders' top edge-rushing duo in the Week 18 matchup against Dallas.

  • Commanders' Dorance Armstrong: Finally back in sack column

    Armstrong recorded four tackles (three solo) including 1.0 sacks during Sunday's 20-19 win at New Orleans.

    Armstrong got to Jake Haener late in the first quarter to log his first sack since Week 5 versus the Browns. He'll be looking to keep up the positive momentum in Week 16 versus the Eagles.

  • Commanders' Dorance Armstrong: Will suit up against Chicago

    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.

  • Commanders' Dorance Armstrong: Could return in Week 8

    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' Dorance Armstrong: Ruled out for Week 7

    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.

  • Commanders' Dorance Armstrong: Missing Wednesday's practice

    Armstrong (ribs) won't practice Wednesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Armstrong sustained a ribs injury in the Commanders' Week 6 loss to the Ravens, and Wednesday's DNP is an indication that his injury may be significant. The first-year Commander will likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to suit up for Washington's Week 7 matchup against the Panthers.

  • Commanders' Dorance Armstrong: More testing to come

    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.

  • Commanders' Dorance Armstrong: Downgraded to out

    Armstrong (ribs) won't return to Sunday's game against the Ravens.

    Armstrong didn't record any counting stats before exiting the contest in the first half. However, he's been a key piece of Washington's defense, posting 3.0 sacks over the prior three games. In Armstrong's absence, Efe Obada and Javontae Jean-Baptiste are candidates for increased defensive snaps.

  • Commanders' Dorance Armstrong: Exits Week 6 with rib injury

    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.
