With Austin Jackson on injured reserve, it’ll be second-round rookie Patrick Paul starting at left tackle. On the right side, it’ll likely be former Bengals lineman Jackson Carman, who was signed to the active roster from the Dolphins practice squad earlier this month. The team also has Isaiah Wynn and Ryan Hayes available.

I am a little pessimistic about it this week,” coach Mike McDaniel said of Armstead’s chances of playing Sunday at Houston.

One Dolphins starting offensive tackle is doubtful and the other is questionable for a Week 15 game in Houston.
