The New York Giants have claimed Ryquell Armstead off waivers from the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Armstead was waived by the Jaguars on Monday after he missed the entire 2020 season because of complications related to COVID-19.

The 24-year-old was twice placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list last season. He spent 19 days on the list the first time, then dealt with a groin injury and another illness before going back on the list. Players are placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list if they test positive for the virus or have been in close contact with someone who has.
