The New York Giants claimed running back Ryquell Armstead off waivers on Tuesday.
Armstead was waived by the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday after he missed the entire 2020 season because of complications related to COVID-19.
He'll compete for a spot on the Giants depth chart at running back that is led by starter Saquon Barkley, who is returning from a torn ACL suffered last season, and includes Devontae Booker and newly signed veteran Corey Clement, among others.
Armstead, 24, was twice placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list last season.
