Miami Dolphins left tackle Terron Armstead tweeted he is aiming to be ready for the team’s regular season opener, after leaving Thursday’s practice with a knee injury.

Armstead injured his right leg on the first play of team drills during a joint practice with the Houston Texans; medical trainers eventually took him back to the locker room on a cart. The four-time Pro Bowler posted a video of himself walking after practice and was seen leaving the training grounds with crutches.

A source close to the situation told ESPN that Armstead’s injury didn’t appear serious, although further testing and evaluation needed to take place before a timetable was determined.

Armstead offered an update of his own Thursday night.

The Dolphins signed Armstead to a five-year, $75 million contract last offseason that included $43.7 million guaranteed. He immediately slotted in as the team’s starting left tackle, but injured his toe against the New England Patriots in Week 1 and dealt with the injury for the remainder of the season.

His toe injury kept him out of four games but didn’t prevent him from being named to his fourth Pro Bowl. Armstead was placed on the physically unable to perform list to start training camp after offseason knee surgery, but returned to the practice field one week later.

The Dolphins open the 2023 season at the Los Angeles Chargers on Sept. 10.
