According to Mike Triplett’s report, the injury is considered minor and Armstead should return to action soon. Of course, Saints fans know how ominous training camp injuries are: Jairus Byrd is a perennial occupant of the PUP with the “should return to action soon” designation.
If it is any consolation, Byrd is not on the PUP this year.
It is likely that the team is just being cautious with their cornerstone tackle whom they signed to a five-year, $64.5 million extension in early May. Considering Armstead played with a hurt knee for most of last season and missed two games because of the injury, a cautious approach is the right one.
