Despite 12 different offensive line combinations, the Miami Dolphins’ offensive line performed admirably in pass protection this season. They had the 13th-fewest hurries, the fewest quarterback hits, the third-fewest pressures, the fourth-lowest pressure percentage, and the fourth-fewest sacks in the NFL.
Their standout lineman, who suffered injuries last season and considered retiring, has decided to return for the 2024 season.
The Miami Dolphins’ left tackle has announced his decision for the 2024 season.
Terron Armstead, an excellent left tackle, is expected to play next season, as confirmed yesterday. In his January statements, the classy Armstead cast doubt on his future. His pay, which is already partially guaranteed, will become fully guaranteed on March 16.
Armstead is an exceptional left lineman who has had multiple injuries throughout his 11-year NFL career. Here’s a brief overview of his injuries.
His injuries from the New Orleans Saints.
Armstead struggled with injuries throughout his nine seasons with the Saints, missing 38 games.
Armstead missed two games in 2014 due to a neck injury, three games in 2015 due to a knee injury, nine games in 2016 due to a knee and quad injury, six games in 2017 due to a torn labrum, chest, and thigh injury, six games in 2018 due to a torn pectoral, and one game in 2019 due to an ankle injury, two games of the 2020 season because of COVID, and nine games of the 2021 season because of a knee and elbow injury.
His injuries with the Miami Dolphins.
Armstead has missed 11 games throughout his two seasons with Miami.
He missed four games in 2022 with a chronic toe injury and a Grade 2 pectoral strain, as well as seven games in 2023 with knee, ankle, back, and quad injuries.
He considered retiring in January.
Armstead was undecided about playing next season, and he will not participate if his body is unable to withstand the injuries.
“2023 was either Super Bowl or bust. I love the game and want to win another championship, but I won’t be a man who keeps playing when his body says he can’t.”
The significance of his return.
Terron Armstead’s return to the Miami Dolphins will have a positive impact on Tua Tagovailoa. Having an elite blind-side blocker will help Tua and the passing game.
Hopefully, he can stay healthy next season.
