The biggest quote for me is that he "feels a lot better". Great news, because he wasn't quite ready vs the Steelers. He might just be able to play the full game. I hope.

Has it been determined that he has a tear?
If so, I think it comes down to pain management and strength. If he loses strength but can endure the pain, he’s not helping. If he’s got strength but cannot endure the pain, he’s not helping.
If it’s only a strain, he should be okay with a sling.
The speculation is strong in this thread.
I was thinking along that line, as well. I can’t imagine them going into the playoffs with TA taking up a roster spot if there wasn’t a reasonable expectation that he could play and be effective, especially with Bushrod being dinged. That’s what I’m telling myself, anyway, to calm my anxiety.I'd be very surprised if Armstead doesn't play. His roster spot is too valuable at this point for it not to be used on an active commodity. The issue he dealt with in the Steelers game was discomfort associated with really pushing that range of motion in a couple of instances. It'll be 3 weeks since that game which has consisted of additional non-stop rehab. They'll make additional adjustments to his gear as well to help further control the extension of that arm/pec.

The Dome would explode and The Eagles might vaporize on the spot.Yep. They would have tried out 10 or 11 free agents after the Steeler game. Don't be surprised if Armstead sprints out of the tunnel carrying a baseball bat.
