The Miami Dolphins listed only one player as questionable for their Thanksgiving game against the Green Bay Packers and it’s a significant one.
Five-time Pro Bowl left tackle Terron Armstead is dealing with a knee injury that has kept him out of practice.
Terron Armstead injury update
While Armstead has missed almost every practice for the last three weeks, but he’s managed to continue playing through his injury. Despite being questionable in Weeks 11 and 12, the Dolphins still had their left tackle available in wins over the Raiders and Patriots.
“He had his mind right,” Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said of Armstead earlier this week. “Everybody knows that the unbelievable opportunity of playing on Thanksgiving is upon us, so guys, however they’re feeling, they’re just spending more time getting treatment and getting ready for this game.”
Dolphins OT depth chart
The Dolphins already lost right tackle Austin Jackson to a season-ending surgery and are starting veteran Kendall Lamm on the right side of their offensive line. That leaves second-round rookie Patrick Paul as the sole backup for Armstead on the left side.
Last week, with a win against the Patriots well in hand, Paul played 19 snaps in relief of Armstead.
