JACKSONVILLE, Fla. โ Until this week, the Jaguars had only one active roster player on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, running back Ryquell Armstead.
His case appears to be serious.
ESPNโs Adam Schefter reported that Armstead has been hospitalized twice since testing positive for the virus and will miss the rest of the season.
According to the report, Armstead โhas suffered from a variety of complications connected to the virus, including significant respiratory issues, and has been hit harder than some expected.โCoaches and teams are t allowed to comment directly on players' medical situations when dealing with COVID-19, but Marrone notes last month that he expected that โheโll be out a while.โAs a rookie in 2019, Armstead flashed as Leonard Fournetteโs backup.
When the Jaguars waived Fournette, Armstead was already on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, clearing the way for James Robinson to become the starting running back.
