Commanders Place DE Dorance Armstrong On IR

To take his spot on the roster, the team signed DE Jalyn Holmes. 

Armstrong will miss the rest of this season with a knee injury. He was Washington’s leading pass rusher with 5.5 sacks. 

Armstrong, 28, is a former fourth-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft out of Kansas. He finished his four-year, $3.12 million rookie contract and was testing the market as an unrestricted free agent when he agreed to an extension with the Cowboys in 2022. 

From there, he signed a three-year deal worth up to $45 million with the Commanders in 2024. 

In 2025, Armstrong appeared in seven games for the Commanders and recorded 24 total tackles and 5.5 sacks.
