Armstead tallied 29 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and three passes defended over 17 games in 2024. The veteran defensive lineman inked a three-year, $51 million deal with the Jaguars this past offseason after spending the first nine seasons of his career with the 49ers. Armstead's first season in Jacksonville was underwhelming, as he recorded just 2.0 sacks, tying his rookie year for the lowest total of his career while appearing in 16 or more games in a season. However, the 31-year-old did tie his career high in passes defended in a single season. Having signed a large contract with Jacksonville in 2024, Armstead is expected to remain one of the team's top interior defensive linemen in 2025.

Armstead tallied 29 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and three passes defended over 17 games in 2024. The veteran defensive lineman inked a three-year, $51 million deal with the Jaguars this past offseason after spending the first nine seasons of his career with the 49ers. Armstead's first season in Jacksonville was underwhelming, as he recorded just 2.0 sacks, tying his rookie year for the lowest total of his career while appearing in 16 or more games in a season. However, the 31-year-old did tie his career high in passes defended in a single season. Having signed a large contract with Jacksonville in 2024, Armstead is expected to remain one of the team's top interior defensive linemen in 2025.
Armstead recorded a sack in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Dolphins. Armstead was able to make a splash play in his debut with the Jaguars, sacking Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa for a five-yard loss in the third quarter. The 30-year-old will look to establish himself as a force for Jacksonville on the team's interior defensive line in 2024 after spending the first nine seasons of his career with San Francisco.
Armstead (knee) should be a full participant during practice this week, Juston Lewis of The Florida Times-Union reports. Armstead suffered a torn meniscus last season while with the 49ers, which led to him spending most of training camp recovering on the PUP list. Head coach Doug Pederson said they'll "see how he is," but no limitations are expected for the 30-year-old as they prepare for a Week 1 matchup with the Dolphins.
The Jaguars activated Armstead (knee) from the active/PUP list Tuesday. Armstead has passed his physical and is ready to participate in practice for the first time this training camp. The 6-foot-7 defensive tackle missed the start of camp while recovering from offseason surgery to repair a torn meniscus. The 30-year-old defensive tackle inked a three-year, $51 million contract with Jacksonville in March and will now anchor his new team's interior D-line.
Head coach Doug Pederson relayed Monday that Armstead (knee) could return from the active/PUP list sometime next week, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports. Armstead is in the final stages of his recovery from offseason surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee. Should he return to practice next week, he'll likely be held out of the Jaguars' preseason finale against the Falcons and aim to be up to game speed for Week 1 against the Dolphins on Sept. 8. Armstead signed a three-year, $51 million contract with Jacksonville in March after spending the first nine years of his career with San Francisco. The 30-year-old Armstead is set to be an integral piece to the Jaguars' defensive front alongside Josh Hines-Allen, DaVon Hamilton and Travon Walker.
Armstead (knee) is close to returning to the practice field according to head coach Doug Pederson, Demetrius Harvey of the Jacksonville Florida Times-Union reports. Armstead has been recovering from an offseason knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee and was placed on the active/PUP since the start of training camp. The 6-foot-7 defensive tackle's return date has not yet been confirmed, but Pederson did say the big man could return "any day."
The Jaguars placed Armstead (knee) on the active/PUP list Saturday. Armstead is continuing to recover from offseason knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee. He was initially expected to be ready for the start of training camp but isn't yet up to full speed. However, Armstead can be activated at any point during camp and is eligible to play in the preseason.
Armstead (knee) will probably be ready for training camp, Zach Goodall of The Jaguars Wire reports. The defensive tackle played through a torn meniscus during San Francisco's Super Bowl run last season before having surgery in the offseason. Armstead signed a three-year, $51 million deal with Jacksonville despite the injury. The veteran finished with 27 tackles, including 5.0 sacks, in the 2023 regular season.
The Jaguars are slated to sign Armstead (knee) on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Armstead, whose deal is reportedly for three years and $51 million, per Adam Schefter of ESPN, immediately becomes a linchpin of Jacksonville's defensive front, fixing a huge need for the team along the interior of the defensive line. The 30-year-old is recovering from surgery undergone to address a torn meniscus, which he played through during the 49ers' postseason run.
