New Orleans Saints left tackle Terron Armstead is considered week-to-week after suffering a high-ankle sprain during his team's win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Rapoport notes that Armstead's injury, which can generally take a month or more to fully heal, will keep him out of the Saints' Week 13 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night.

Armstead, who played his collegiate football at Arkansas-Pine Bluff, was originally selected by New Orleans in the third round (75th pick overall) of the 2013 NFL Draft.

Since entering the league, Armstead has yet to play a full season, topping out at 14 games in 2014.

When healthy, Armstead is one of the better tackles in football, and last year, he made his first Pro Bowl in spite of appearing in just 10 contests. However, staying on the field has obviously been an ongoing issue for the 28-year-old.

The Saints improved to 9-2 with their win over the Panthers and are now in sole possession of second place in the NFC playoff picture. They are one game behind the San Francisco 49ers for the No. 1 overall seed.

The 49ers' win over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday evening allowed New Orleans to jump Green Bay—which is now 8-3—in the standings. As a result, the Saints are now in control of their own destiny the rest of the way.

New Orleans is looking to nail down a first-round bye for the second straight season. Last year, the Saints won 13 games and made it all the way to the NFC Championship Game before ultimately falling to the Los Angeles Rams in controversial fashion.
