Terron Armstead hoping he’s found recipe to stay healthy for Saints

Posted by Curtis Crabtree on August 1, 2018, 2:19 AM EDT

In five seasons in the NFL, New Orleans Saints left tackle Terron Armstead has yet to play an entire 16 game season.

The most games he’s ever played in a season was 14 in 2014. He appeared in just seven games in 2016 and 10 games last season as a variety of ailments have combined to keep him on the sidelines far more often that he would hope.

But according to Nick Underhill of the New Orleans Advocate, Armstead is optimistic he’s found a solution to his injury woes and hopes it will enable him to stay healthy and be more productive.

“I didn’t know why stuff kept happening,” Armstead said. “One injury was the result of others that would never heal. I dealt with that for two years. That kept happening.”

Armstead sought out many opinions hoping to figure out why he was continually getting injured. He dealt with injuries to his hip, knee and chest in recent seasons as the injuries piled up. The hip injury which Armstead called “jacked up” last year was the result of compensating for others injuries.

He went to Duke Manyweather’s offensive line camp and worked with a movement specialist, Patrick Brennan, that he found beneficial.

“You got one big system,” Armstead said “You got a kink in the system it’s not going to function properly. Just finding those kinks, knocking them out, keeping everything running smooth.”

'I was like getting a tear every week' Terron Armstead

Tear every week? Tear what? Vaginal tear? Certainly started experiencing a lot of "tearing" after signing the contract...

Just stay healthy and help us win a Superbowl, recover some of your trade value, and we'll ship you to sunny Los Angeles Chargers...

Chargers QB Phillip Rivers is used to seeing his offensive linemen in the M*A*S*H* unit so you can rest and recover from the stress there...

And we can go get another mauler from Wisconsin...

So what will be the over/under on games played/finished by Armstead this year? Eight seems to be the magical number...

Personally, I'm afraid that our starting line up will get shuffled around like last year. Armstead always misses time. Peat is coming back from a broken leg and isn't known for his conditioning. Unger is out right now and even though he's been a rock for us he missed time before coming here in a trade. I am very nervous about the O-line this year and can only hope we have enough depth.

Seems like Armstead is getting a lot of adulation, reinforcement - wonder if his mental state is as fragile as he physically is?

Or perhaps he is drawing the accolades because he is actually looking outstanding. Besides, I've never taken Strief to be the kind that throws out false perceptions.
