Now that he is a member of the New York Giants, let’s get to know running back Ryquell Armstead.
COVID-19 cost him the 2020 season
Armstead did not opt out of the 2020 season. He opted in, and COVID-19 took the season away from him. Armstead was placed on the COVID-19 reserve list twice, Aug. 2 and Sept. 4 of last season. He was reportedly hospitalized twice with respiratory issues, and never played.
Entering the season, Armstead was thought to be a candidate to become Jacksonville’s lead back. Instead, he lost the season, lost his roster spot, and is now a Giant.
