The 6-2 Miami Dolphins are set to face off in opposition to the 6-2 Kansas Metropolis Chiefs in Germany, taking a matchup of the highest two groups within the AFC worldwide. The Dolphins have been quiet on the NFL commerce deadline earlier this week, however that doesn’t imply they aren’t able to bolster their roster. After cornerback Jalen Ramsey was activated off injured reserve final week, making his season debut in opposition to the New England Patriots, the Dolphins may quickly see the return of one other Professional Bowl starter. Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel informed the media on Wednesday the crew has designated deal with Terron Armstead for return from injured reserve.
Armstead will start practising on Wednesday and is eligible to play in Sunday’s Week 9 recreation in opposition to the Chiefs. With the IR-return designation, Armstead can follow for as much as 21 days earlier than Miami should resolve to activate him or go away him on IR for the rest of the season.
Miami has their bye week in Week 10. If the crew was not hopeful that Armstead can be able to play this weekend, burning every week of his 21-day window through the bye week wouldn’t appear to make sense.
Armstead was injured throughout Miami’s Week 4 loss to the Buffalo Payments. The deal with was engaged in a block when one other participant rolled into his leg, injuring his knee. The Dolphins have been very conservative with injured gamers this yr, opting to sideline them and defend them for the longterm moderately than rush them again to play and threat additional complicating the difficulty. Armstead was already coping with again, knee, and ankle accidents this yr, previous to the damage to the opposite knee.
The Dolphins and Chiefs are scheduled for a 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff on Sunday from Frankfurt, Germany, the one recreation within the morning slot for Week 9.
