Terron Armstead Sounds Determined to Play in Week 1 After Suffering an Injury During Joint Practices in Houston

The Miami Dolphins had a big scare on Thursday afternoon as left tackle Terron Armstead was rolled up on and had to be carted off the field during joint practices with the Houston Texans. Armstead, Miami's top offensive lineman, has battled injury throughout his career and played 13 games with the Dolphins last season.

Night-to-day was the improvement we saw in Miami's offensive line when Armstead is on the field -- making him critical to any playoff hopes the Dolphins may have. That being said, both Armstead and beat reporters around the league said that surgery wouldn't be necessary and Armstead is battling to be ready Week 1 of the regular season.

How will the Dolphins react to this injury? Will Armstead be bubble-wrapped for the rest of the preseason while Kendall Lamm takes most of the snaps at left tackle, or will Miami search the waiver wire for free agents that could help?
