Commanders' Dorance Armstrong: Will be available Sunday
Armstrong (knee) does not carry an official injury designation ahead of Sunday's game at Dallas.
Armstrong wasn't able to log a full practice during the week due to a lingering knee issue, but he's in line to return from his one-game suspension in Week 2 anyway. He figures to see plenty of work on the edge against his old team Sunday.

Commanders' Dorance Armstrong: Logs limited practice Wednesday
Armstrong (knee) was a limited participant at the Commanders' practice Wednesday.
Armstrong was reinstated after serving a one-game suspension Monday, but he now appears to be dealing with a potential knee issue as practice gets underway ahead of Week 2. The linebacker will have two more chances to log a full practice and erase any doubt about his availability for Sunday's matchup with Dallas.

Commanders' Dorance Armstrong: Reinstated from suspension
Armstrong was reinstated from his one-game suspension Monday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Armstrong was suspended for one game to open the 2026 campaign after violating the NFL's personal conduct policy, so he was unavailable for Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Eagles. Armstrong will likely return to his starting role at strong-side linebacker in Week 2 versus the Cowboys.

Commanders' Dorance Armstrong: Suspended to start season
The NFL suspended Armstrong for the first game of the regular season, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Armstrong will miss Week 1 for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. The announcement did not specify the reason for the violation, but it could be related to the linebacker's May arrest on charges of assault and resisting arrest. Armstrong came off the active/PUP list last Friday after finally recovering from the knee injury he suffered during Week 7 of the 2025 season. The 23-year-old participated in all seven games before going down, so it is expected he will be a key piece of the Commanders' 2026 depth once he serves his suspension.

Commanders' Dorance Armstrong: Comes off PUP list
Armstrong (knee) passed his physical and has been removed from the Commanders' PUP list as of Friday.

Commanders' Dorance Armstrong: Out for rest of season
Coach Dan Quinn said Monday that Armstrong (knee) will miss the remainder of the season, Commanders writer Ben Standig reports.
Armstrong suffered the knee injury in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys after logging just four defensive snaps. The 28-year-old defensive lineman's season is over after compiling 24 tackles (16 solo), including a team-high 5.5 sacks. Washington already has several other edge defenders on injured reserve, so the team may need to look outside the organization for help at the position.

Commanders' Dorance Armstrong: Likely missing time
Armstrong is expected to miss time after sustaining a knee injury in Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Cowboys, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
The veteran defensive end sustained a knee injury early in the first quarter of Sunday's loss, and it now appears it's serious enough for him to miss time. Armstrong has been Washington's most effective pass rusher through seven games, recording 24 total tackles, including 5.5 sacks. Preston Smith is currently the only healthy Commanders defensive end, with Armstrong, Javontae Jean-Baptiste (pectoral), Deatrich Wise (quadriceps) and Drake Jackson (knee) all dealing with injuries.

Commanders' Dorance Armstrong: Won't return vs. Dallas
Armstrong (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
Armstrong sustained a knee injury during the Commanders' first defensive possession of the game, which is severe enough for him to be sidelined for the rest of Sunday's NFC East contest. The Commanders will turn to Eddie Goldman, Jer'Zhan Newton and Sheldon Day to pick up the slack at defensive end in Armstrong's absence.
