The injury bug has hit the Miami Dolphins in their Week 12 home matchup against the Houston Texans.

For one, offensive tackle Terron Armstead left the game during the late stages of the first half. Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel opted to call on veteran offensive lineman Brandon Shell to fill in for Armstead at the left tackle position.

The Dolphins later ruled out Armstead for the rest of the game due to a pectoral injury.

On the other hand, Dolphins running back Jeff Wilson Jr. suffered an apparent lower-body injury on the very first offensive play of the second half. After getting tackled by Texans defensive back Jalen Pitre following a 7-yard run, Wilson needed help in getting off of the field before the team’s next play on offense.

While Wilson ended up heading into the locker room, he later returned to the sideline.

In the big picture, Miami now has much of its attention set on Armstead. The three-time Pro Bowler has nursed a nagging toe injury for much of the season, which has forced him to miss multiple practices in the campaign. Still, he has only been sidelined for a mere one game this year.

The Dolphins are looking to clinch a win over Houston to move to an 8-3 record on the season.
