Armstrong (hamstring) was waived/injured by the Falcons on Tuesday, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
Armstrong was working with the second-team defense and was expected to play as a rotational corner before suffering this hamstring injury. Don't be surprised if the 27-year-old ends up back with Atlanta at some point this year.

Armstrong re-signed with the Falcons on a one-year deal Monday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.
Armstrong was signed to Atlanta's practice squad in October before getting promoted to the active roster later that month. In 10 games (four starts), the 27-year-old registered a career-high 33 tackles (22 solo). Armstrong will hope to once again provide solid depth behind starters A.J. Terrell and Casey Hayward next season.

The Falcons signed Armstrong (undisclosed) to the practice squad Monday, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
Armstrong was previously placed on Atlanta's IR due to an undisclosed injury in mid-August before being let go with an injury settlement. The fifth-year cornerback did not play in 2021 after he was similarly waived with an injury settlement from Houston's IR last September, and he has played only 136 defensive snaps during his career.

Armstrong was activated from the Falcons' practice squad COVID-19 list Tuesday.
Armstrong signed with the Falcons' practice squad on Dec. 7 and ended up on the COVID list one week later. Now that he is healthy, he'll try to earn a spot on the active roster before the season comes to a close, or at least prove he deserves a shot with the Falcons in 2022.

Texans' Cornell Armstrong: Picks up knee injury
Rotowire
Armstrong (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Titans.
Armstrong popped up on the injury report Friday after logging a limited practice session. Considering he was still able to practice in some capacity, the third-year cornerback is likely a game-time decision for Sunday, although his status shouldn't affect the defense either way since he's been a healthy scratch through the first five games.

Texans' Cornell Armstrong: Bumps up to active roster
Rotowire
The Texans promoted Armstrong to the active roster Saturday, NFL agent Brett Tessler reports.
Since the Texans' top two cornerbacks -- Johnathan Joseph and Bradley Roby -- are both questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders with hamstring injuries, the Texans brought up Armstrong as depth. He'll likely stick in a special-teams role as long as there aren't further injuries.
