News

  • Ready for playoffs

    Armstead (foot/ankle) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's wild-card matchup versus the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Armstead has dealt with a persistent foot/ankle dating back to Week 2. While he was once again limited during the first two practices heading into Saturday, the 29-year-old will be ready to suit up for his seventh game in a row after logging a full session Thursday. Armstead should continue to serve a prominent role on the interior of San Francisco's defensive line alongside Javon Kinlaw (knee), who also does not carry a designation leading into the first round of the playoffs.

  • Limited again Wednesday

    Armstead (ankle) logged his second straight limited practice session Wednesday ahead of San Francisco's wild-card game against the Seahawks on Saturday.

    Analysis: Armstead has been dealing with a foot/ankle issue for much of the campaign, though he was able to play in each of the 49ers' contests between Week 13 and 18. He has opened the practice week with back-to-back limited sessions, as he has done every week since Week 13. That suggests he'll probably be ready for Saturday's wild-card contest against Seattle, during which he'll likely handle his usual starting role along the defensive line.

  • Still on injury report Tuesday

    Armstead (ankle) was a limited participant during the 49ers' practice Tuesday.

    Analysis: Armstead will once again open San Francisco's week of practice with an injury designation. The 29-year-old previously missed seven consecutive games while dealing with these foot and ankle injuries, though he suited up during each of the final six weeks of the regular season. Fellow defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw (knee) was also a limited participant Tuesday, though, barring additional setbacks, it's likely both he and Armstead will be available for Saturday's wild-card game against the Seahawks.

  • Will play Sunday

    Armstead (foot/ankle) is active Sunday against the Cardinals, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Armstead has been dealing with the injury throughout the season, but he'll continue to play through it. His ability to take the field once again should be good news for the 49ers' defensive front.

  • Status up in the air Week 18

    Armstead (foot/ankle) has been deemed questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Armstead has been tending to a foot/ankle injury for almost the entire season, though he's played over 60 percent of defensive snaps in each of San Francisco's past four games. The 29-year-old opened Week 18 prep with back-to-back limited practices before sitting the entirety of Friday's sessions. With Kevin Givens (knee) remaining out and Javon Kinlaw (knee) also considered questionable to play, it's possible San Francisco could be down to just one healthy defensive tackle in T.Y. McGill if…read more

  • No injury designation

    Armstead (foot/ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Armstead was limited during the first two practices of Week 14 prep due to foot and ankle injuries, but he was upgraded to a full participant Friday and is good to go for Sunday. The veteran defensive lineman returned from a six-game absence in Week 13 but didn't record a tackle across 20 plays. Armstead likely remains off the IDP radar as long as he's playing fewer than half of the 49ers' defensive snaps.

  • Logs partial practice

    Armstead (foot/ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Armstead made his return from a seven-game absence streak this past Sunday against the Dolphins due to a foot/ankle injury, but he ultimately failed to record any stats on just 20 defensive snaps played in the contest. The 29-year-old's ability to participate in Wednesday's session in any capacity puts him on track to suit up again this weekend versus Tampa Bay, though he could see his snaps capped for a second consecutive matchup.

  • Good to go for Week 13

    Armstead doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Armstead returned to full participation Friday and is good to go against the Dolphins after being limited during the first two sessions of Week 13 prep due to foot and ankle injuries. Sunday's matchup will mark the veteran's first game action since Week 4, so he'll likely be limited following a lengthy absence.

  • Expects to play in Week 13

    Armstead (foot, ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Armstead shared that he plans to play Sunday against the Dolphins even after logging a limited practice Thursday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. If Armstead faces any setbacks, it's likely that T.Y. McGill could see some snaps in relief.

  • Plans to return Week 13

    Armstead (foot/ankle) said Thursday that he plans to play Sunday against the Dolphins, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Armstead has not played since suffering a foot/ankle injury during the 49ers' Week 4 win against the Rams, though he did return to practice in a limited fashion last Friday before ultimately being ruled inactive Week 12. The 29-year-old defensive tackle was also limited during practice Wednesday, though it's still unknown if he was able to increase his activity Thursday. Armstead's status on Friday's final injury report should provide more clarity on his chances to play against Miami.

  • Remains sidelined Sunday

    Armstead (foot/ankle) has been ruled inactive for Sunday's game versus the Saints.

    Analysis: Armstead will miss his seventh game in a row due to a lingering foot/ankle injury. The 29-year-old defensive tackle recorded five tackles over three games this season, and his next opportunity to suit up will come against the Dolphins on Sunday, Dec. 4. With Armstead out, practice-squad elevation T.Y. McGill will serve as San Francisco's only available defensive tackle behind starters Kevin Givens and Hassan Ridgeway.

  • Likely out Week 12

    Armstead (foot/ankle) is considered doubtful to play Sunday versus the Saints, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Armstead has yet to play since suffering a foot/ankle injury during San Francisco's Week 4 win over the Rams, and he appears set to miss his seventh game in a row versus New Orleans. As a result, expect Kevin Givens and Hassan Ridgeway to once more serve as the 49ers' top defensive tackles Week 12.

  • Won't play Monday

    Armstead (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against Arizona, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Armstead will miss a sixth straight game due to a foot injury after failing to practice during Week 11 prep. In his extended absence, Hassan Ridgeway and Kevin Givens have garnered increased roles.

  • Sidelined again Friday

    Armstead (foot/ankle) did not practice Friday, 49ers Webzone reports.

    Analysis: Armstead has been sidelined since Week 4, though coach Kyle Shanahan began the week with some optimism that Armstead would be able to suit up Monday against the Cardinals. However, after logging two DNPs, it appears that Armstead is trending toward another absence. He'll have one more opportunity to log a practice before his status for Week 11 is determined.

  • Unable to practice Thursday

    Armstead (foot/leg) was unable to participate in the 49ers' practice Thursday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Armstead has been sidelined since Week 4 primarily due to a right foot injury. Despite the 28-year-old's extended absence, coach Kyle Shanahan shared earlier in the week that the defensive end has a chance to play in Week 11, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. Armstead will likely need to log at least one limited practice before Monday night if he hopes to suit up against Arizona in Mexico City.

  • Status for Week 11 uncertain

    San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Armstead (foot/leg) "does have a chance" to play Week 11 against Arizona but was noncommittal about whether the defensive lineman would practice this week, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Armstead hasn't played since Week 4 as he's been dealing with a hairline fracture in his left fibula along with plantar fasciitis in his right foot. Though it's encouraging that Shanahan said Armstead could play this week, it's not clear how likely that scenario is given that a return-to-practice timeline doesn't appear to be set. Armstead will likely slide back into a starting role whenever he's ready to return.

  • Ruled out for Sunday

    Armstead (foot) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Analysis: Armstead has been sidelined since Week 4 while dealing with a plantar fascia on his right foot to go along with a hairline fracture of his left fibula, according to San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan. The 28-year-old also remained out of practice this week, and his timeline for a return is still unclear. In his absence, expect Hassan Ridgeway and Kevin Givens to once again start at defensive tackle this Sunday against the Chargers.

  • Still not practicing

    Armstead (foot) did not participate in practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Armstead has been nursing a foot injury since early in the campaign, though he tried to play through it in Week 4 against the Rams. The defensive lineman hasn't seen action since, and he may be in line to miss more time given confirmation by head coach Kyle Shanahan that Armstead is suffering from "a stress reaction and hairline fracture of his left fibula and plantar fascia on his right foot," per Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area. Hassan Ridgeway is likely to continue filling in for…read more

  • Deemed out for Week 8

    Armstead (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Rams, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Armstead will miss a fourth straight contest due to a lingering foot issue. The veteran defensive lineman's next chance to suit up will arrive after the 49ers' Week 9 bye against the Chargers on Nov. 13. In Armstead's absence, Hassan Ridgeway figures to continue playing a sizable role in the middle of San Francisco's defensive line.

  • Not practicing

    Armstead (foot) was a DNP in San Francisco's practice Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: It's not surprising Armstead missed Wednesday's practice as he's been dealing with this foot injury since Week 3. The 6-foot-7 defensive tackle will have two days of practice before missing Sunday's game against the Rams, which would be his fourth consecutive game out.

  • Out again Sunday

    Armstead (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's clash against the Chiefs, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Armstead hurt his foot Week 2 against Seattle and missed the Week 3 matchup versus Denver. He was able to return Week 4 against the Rams but left that game early and hasn't played since. Armstead wasn't able to practice at all this week, so his status for Week 8 isn't promising.

  • Still not practicing

    Armstead (foot) was a DNP in the 49ers' practice Wednesday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Armstead has missed the 49ers' last two games due to a foot injury sustained in the team's Week 3 win against the Rams. The 6-foot-7 defensive tackle now will have two more practices to increase his activity before likely sitting out his fourth contest of the season Sunday versus Kansas City. Armstead recorded six sacks and a career-high 63 tackles while playing every regular-season game last year, and his return would be a big boost for San Francisco's defensive interior.

  • Sitting out Week 6

    Armstead (foot) did not travel with the 49ers ahead of Sunday's road game against the Falcons, leaving him unlikely to play in the contest, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Analysis: Armstead appears set to miss his second game in a row due to a foot injury suffered during San Francisco's Week 3 win over the Rams. The 29-year-old has recorded four tackles over three games this season, and his likely absence will once again leave the 49ers' interior defensive undermanned. As a result, expect Kevin Givens and Hassan Ridgeway to start if fellow defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw (knee) is also sidelined Sunday.

  • Sitting out practice

    Armstead (foot/ankle) did not practice Wednesday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Armstead didn't suit up Week 5, and he now has just two more chances to log some amount of practice activity ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons. San Francisco's defensive line as a whole is in rough shape, so it would be a notable boost for the team if Armstead can return to action.

  • Unavailable Sunday

    Armstead (foot/ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Carolina, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Armstead was removed from Monday's game against the Rams due to a foot issue, and he'll likely also be unavailable for the 49ers' Week 6 matchup against Atlanta, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports. With Armstead and Javon Kinlaw (knee) out, Kevin Givens and Hassan Ridgeway should see increased playing time.

  • Doesn't participate Wednesday

    Armstead (foot/ankle) was listed as a non-participant on the 49ers' injury report Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Armstead recorded two tackles and played 30 defensive snaps before exiting Monday's win over the Rams with a foot injury. The 6-foot-7 defensive tackle also missed Week 3 with a foot issue and did not practice heading into the fourth game of the season, though he now appears to be dealing with an associated ankle injury as well. Armstead recorded a career-high 63 tackles, including six sacks, over 17 games last season, and he'll have two more practices to improve his status before Sunday's…read more

  • Forced out Monday

    Armstead (foot) was ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Rams, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Armstead did not practice Friday and was listed questionable with a foot injury on San Francisco's injury report Saturday, though he was ultimately ruled active Monday night. With Armstead out, the 49ers will be left with just two healthy defensive tackles in backups Kevin Givens and Hassan Ridgeway for the remainder of Monday's divisional matchup.

  • Will play Monday

    Armstead (foot) is active Monday against the Rams, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Armstead logged a limited practice Saturday after not being able to participate earlier in the week. His availability will be a boon to the 49ers defense as they look to stop the divisional-rival Rams on Monday night.

  • Uncertain for Week 4

    Armstead (foot) practiced in limited fashion Saturday and is questionable for Monday's game against the Rams, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Analysis: Armstead failed to practice in any capacity during the week's first two sessions. However, he'll have the chance to return from a one-game absence and retake his prominent role along the San Francisco defensive line.

    Armstead (foot) didn't practice Friday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: While Armstead remained sidelined for a second straight practice due to a foot issue that cost him Week 3, Barrow does note in his report that the defensive tackle was going through his most extensive rehab routine since he suffered the injury. It appears Armstead is trending in the right direction, but he'll likely miss a second straight game if he doesn't return to practice Saturday. Javon Kinlaw (knee) is also dealing with an injury, so San Francisco may be down its top two defensive tackles…read more

    Armstead (foot) didn't practice Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Armstead suffered an unspecified foot issue during the 49ers' Week 2 win over the Seahawks. The defensive end was unable to practice leading up to the Week 3 contest versus the Broncos and ultimately couldn't suit up for that game. Expect Hassan Ridgeway to continue to see plenty of snaps until Armstead is able to return.

  • Sidelined against Broncos

    Armstead (foot) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Armstead didn't practice at all during the week, so it's not particularly surprising that he is unable to suit up. Hassan Ridgeway will likely take on a heavy workload in Armstead's absence.

    Armstead (foot) is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Broncos, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Analysis: Armstead didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but he'll still have a chance to suit up Sunday. If he's sidelined, Kevin Givens and Hassan Ridgeway would be candidates for increased roles along San Francisco's defensive line.

    Armstead (foot) was listed as a non-participant on the 49ers' injury report Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Armstead appears to have picked up an unspecified foot issue at some point during Sunday's 27-7 victory against Seattle. While the 28-year-old defensive tackle still managed to record one tackle while playing 68 percent of San Francisco's defensive snaps in Week 2, it is possible that he suffered this injury near the end of this game.

  • Returns in full

    Armstead (knee) was a full participant during the 49ers' practice Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Armstead was relegated to individual work to the side throughout much of San Francisco's training camp after he sprained his knee during practice in late July. The 6-foot-7 defensive end's rehab work now appears to be over given his participation in Wednesday's practice. Armstead has recorded 48 tackles while playing every game for the 49ers' over the past four seasons, and should once again serve as a dominant force on the interior of the team's defensive front when healthy in 2022.

  • May return for joint practices

    49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that Armstead (knee) could return for joint practices with Minnesota next week, Brian Murphy of KNBR 104.5 reports.

    Analysis: Armstead suffered a knee sprain during one of the first practices of training camp and has remained sidelined since. However, he's slowly working his way back with light rehab work and could return to full practices by as soon as next week. The 28-year-old racked up six sacks and a career-high 63 tackles over 17 games last season.

  • Working to the side in practice

    Armstead (knee) was seen running to the side early on during San Francisco's practice Friday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Armstead is expected to miss a few weeks after suffering a knee sprain during the 49ers' practice last week Wednesday, and this light work off to the side is an encouraging sign for his overall health. The 28-year-old racked up six sacks and a career-high 63 tackles over 17 games last season, so it is likely that the team will take every precaution as they work him back onto the field heading into the regular season.

  • Hurts knee in practice

    Armstead (knee) suffered a sprained knee Wednesday and is expected to miss multiple weeks of practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Analysis: Though fortunately it's just a sprain for Armstead, the Niners will presumably play things safe with their 28-year-old defensive lineman. Samson Ebukam and 2022 second-round pick Drake Jackson should see an increase in reps at camp until Armstead returns to his place along San Francisco's intimidating front four ahead of Week 1.

    Amstead agreed Wednesday to restructure his contract with the 49ers, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Armstead and teammate George Kittle both restructued their deals Wednesday, saving San Francisco a total of $18.8 million in cap space. The 28-year-old defensive tackle racked up 63 tackles and six sacks while appearing in all 17 regular-season games last year.

  • Good to go for MNF

    Armstead (neck) doesn't carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Rams, Jourdan Rodrigue of the Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Things weren't looking good for Armstead after he failed to practice Friday, but he returned to full participation Saturday and subsequently avoided the final injury report. He'll look to build on his 10-tackle performance in Week 9 -- Armstead's first double-digit tackle output of the season.

  • Limited Thursday

    Armstead was limited at Thursday's practice due to a neck injury.

    Analysis: The neck issue presumably stems from the 49ers' Week 9 loss to the Cardinals. Armstead's limited workload indicates it is not too serious, but his status the remainder of the week will need to be monitored. Charles Omenihu would presumably fill in should the 27-year-old ultimately have to miss any time.

  • Double-digit tackes in loss

    Armstead recorded 10 tackles (two solo) and one sack during Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Armstead had his best outing of the season Sunday, notching a season-high 10 tackles and recording his second sack of the year. The 27-year-old defensive end hasn't been a viable IDP option this season, but that could change quickly if he can build off his performance against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Armstead has battled an abdominal injury throughout the early portion of the season, though he's maintained a snap share at or above 60 percent in every game to this point.

  • Playing Sunday

    Armstead (abdomen) is listed as active Sunday in Philadelphia.

    Analysis: The 49ers managed Armstead's practice reps this week, holding him out Wednesday before he logged a pair of limited sessions to wrap it up. After getting through a pregame workout unscathed, the pass rusher will be out there against an Eagles offensive line that allowed just one sack of Jalen Hurts in Week 1.

  • Questionable for Week 2

    The 49ers listed Armstead (abdomen) as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Eagles, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: After not practicing Wednesday, Armstead was able to work in a limited capacity Thursday and will likely be a game-time decision Sunday. Coach Kyle Shanahan stated earlier in the week that he is confident the 27-year-old will be available for Week 2.

  • Practices as limited participant

    Armstead (abdomen) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Coach Kyle Shanahan expressed optimism in Armstead's availability for Week 2 after the defensive end sat out Wednesday's practice, so it's not a major surprise to see him back on the field. The 27-year-old could avoid an injury designation for Sunday's matchup with the Eagles if he's able to practice fully Friday.

  • Isn't practicing Wednesday

    Armstead (abdomen) isn't practicing Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Coach Kyle Shanahan said he is confident that Armstead will be available Sunday, but he won't practice Wednesday out of an abundance of caution. The 27-year-old defensive end dealt with a groin injury during training camp, but he wasn't listed on the injury report ahead of Week 1 and played 73 total snaps.

  • Available for Week 1

    Armstead (groin) isn't listed on the 49ers' injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Armstead has been nursing a groin injury since the beginning of August, but the injury seems to have cleared up as the defensive end is no longer on the injured list. Armstead is slated to have a key role on the 49ers' defensive line if he can remain healthy.

  • Nursing groin injury

    Armstead was a non-participant at Friday's practice due to a groin injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: There's no reason at this point to believe the 49ers are not just erring on the side of caution with Armstead in order to avoid a lingering issue. Still, the veteran's status should certainly be monitored in the immediate future. After a career year in 2019, he regressed from 10 sacks to just 3.5 this past season. Still, he projects to be a key cog on the team's defensive line in 2021.

  • Delivers two sacks

    Armstead had eight tackles (five solo) and two sacks during Sunday's 41-33 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old paced the team in tackles, and it was also his first time in the sack column since Week 4. Armstead had 10 sacks in 2019 but has only 3.5 sacks through 14 games this season with San Francisco's depleted defensive line.

  • Returns from reserve/COVID-19 list

    Armstead was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

    Analysis: Armstead was placed on the list Nov. 16 but did not miss a game as the 49ers were on bye Week 11. He'll assume his usual starting spot along the defensive line for Sunday's matchup against the Rams.

  • Heads to COVID-19 list

    The 49ers placed Armstead on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Armstead has either tested positive for the virus or come into close contact with an infected person. He played 51 total snaps in Sunday's road loss to the Saints. The 49ers are on bye in Week 11, so Armstead has an extended period to clear the league's COVID-19 protocols and return to team activities.

  • Over back injury

    Armstead (back) was a full participant in Thursday's team practice, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Armstead was sidelined with a minor back injury earlier in training camp, but he has fully recovered in time for the start of the regular season. The 2015 first-round selection is coming off of his best season as a pro (54 tackles and 10 sacks), and was rewarded with a five-year contract extension this offseason. Armstead will serve as an every-down lineman both on the interior and exterior of a loaded defensive line in 2020.

  • Back injury not considered serious

    Coach Kyle Shanahan stated that Armstead's back injury wasn't serious, and the team was just taking a cautious approach with its defensive lineman by holding him out of Saturday's practice, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Fresh off a five-year, $85 million extension, the 49ers are playing it safe with Armstead's minor back injury. Branch added that the 26-year-old likely will miss a few days of practice, with Wednesday marking a potential return date. Barring a setback, Armstead is poised to build off of a career year in 2019 as an every-down lineman both at the end (on early downs) and tackle (in nickel formations) positions.

  • Misses practice

    Armstead missed Saturday's practice due to back irritation, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The severity of Armstead's back issue is not known at this time, but it was enough to keep him sidelined at practice. His absence means the likes of Dee Ford, Kerry Hyder, Dion Jordan and Jonathan Kongbo will likely see more reps at practice.

  • Re-ups with 49ers

    The 49ers and Armstead agreed to a five-year contract Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Armstead didn't receive the franchise tag from the 49ers, but with the potential to earn up to $85 million over the course of the deal, he can match the current valuation ($17 million per year) of that tag if he gets every incentive. In any case, he'll return to a formidable 49ers defensive front, looking to build upon his 10-sack outburst opposite 2019 Defensive Rookie of the Year Nick Bosa.

  • Doesn't get tag

    Armstead didn't receive a franchise tag, but he's discussing a contract to stay with the 49ers, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: The 2015 first-round pick enjoyed a breakout season in 2019, with his 10 sacks more than doubling his previous career total. The 49ers have enough pass-rushing talent to get by fine without Armstead, but that doesn't mean they'll simply accept losing him.

  • Open to franchise tag

    Armstead said Wednesday that he would be open to receiving the 49ers' franchise tag during the offseason, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. "I would love being here," Armstead said. "Trying to go back to the Super Bowl, so however that is seen or has to get done, it's not really my decision what they want to do with me."

    Analysis: The 2015 first-round pick's rookie contract will expire in March, so he's set to become an unrestricted free agent. Armstead was a fixture on the 49ers' touted defensive front in 2019, as he averaged 49 defensive snaps per game and accrued career highs in tackles (54) and sacks (10) while starting opposite of rookie Nick Bosa. Per OvertheCap.com, Armstead's franchise tag would cost the team approximately $19.32 million against the salary cap.

  • Quiet showing Week 15

    Armstead recorded four tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 48-46 win over the Saints.

    Analysis: The 26-year-old moved his season tackle total to 46 (26 solo) through the first 13 games. Armstead's value lies in getting to the quarterback with 10 sacks this season, however, he's failed to do so in the past two games. He and the rest of the defense will look to get back on track against a banged up Atlanta offensive line.

  • Records two sacks in win

    Armstead made five tackles (two solo) and two sacks in Sunday's 37-8 win over the Packers.

  • Notches another sack

    Armstead notched two tackles and one sack during Sunday's 36-26 victory over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Armstead was a factor all night and seemed to be near the quarterback fairly often. His biggest play came with the 49ers down three with three minutes to go, notching a huge third-down sack of Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray to get San Francisco the ball back. The Oregon product is now up to eight sacks on the year and will take his 3.3-tackle-per-game average into a Week 12 showdown with Green Bay.

  • Forces huge fumble in loss

    Armstead made three tackles (two solo), 1.5 sacks and forced a fumble in Monday's loss to Seattle.

    Analysis: After the 49ers had fallen behind by 11, Armstead totally reversed the game's momentum with an aided strip-sack of Russell Wilson in the fourth quarter, which promptly became a fumble-six. The 25-year-old would add another sack in overtime for good measure and is up to seven total on the year.
