Arik Armstead participated in his third consecutive practice, including last Friday's session. The defensive lineman is close to returning to the football field. He has not played since Week 4 due to foot and ankle injuries.
After practice, Armstead told reporters that he plans to play against the Dolphins. That's fantastic news for the NFL's No. 1 ranked defense.
