Report: Jaguars RB Ryquell Armstead Expected to Miss Season With COVID-19 Complications

Jaguars running back Ryquell Armstead is expected to miss the entire season because of rare symptoms related to the coronavirus, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Sunday NFL Countdown.

According to Schefter, Armstead, who was first placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list during the preseason and again placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list prior to the start of the regular season, has suffered from respiratory issues and has been hospitalized twice after contracting COVID-19.

"I think it will be a while. I can't put a real timetable on it but he'll be out for a while," head coach Doug Marrone said in September upon Armstead being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
