Ryquell Armstead News
The Jacksonville Jaguars cut running back Ryquell Armstead on Monday, according to a league source. The former fifth-round pick out of Temple had 50 carries for 188 yards (3.8 yards per carry) and no rushing touchdowns in his two seasons with the Jaguars. He also added 17 catches on 28 targets for 160 yards and two touchdowns through the air. The 25-year-old will be looking to latch on with another team before the start of the 2022 regular season in order to provide running back depth. Armstead is well off the fantasy radar for obvious reasons.
The Jacksonville Jaguars signed running back Ryquell Armstead to the 53-man roster on Wednesday. He was cut by the Giants, Saints and recently worked out for the Packers. The 25-year-old returns to Jacksonville, a fifth-round pick by the Jaguars in 2019. Armstead missed the 2020 season due to COVID-19 after rushing for 108 yards on 35 carries for the Jaguars in 2019. Carlos Hyde (concussion) was placed on injured reserve, Armstead was brought on for depth purposes, and won't be on the fantasy radar unless starter James Robinson misses time.
After losing James White (hip) indefinitely with a hip injury, the New England Patriots worked out four free agent running backs. The Patriots brought in Ryquell Armstead, Ito Smith, Artavis Pierce and Dontrell Hilliard. Armstead had a work out with the Washington Football Team prior to Week 3 and was cut by the Giants in the preseason. Smith is most known for his time as a backup running back for the Atlanta Falcons and suited up with the Arizona Cardinals and Minnesota Vikings this offseason. Pierce spent his rookie season with the Chicago Bears in 2020 and was one of their final cuts this offseason. Hilliard has spent the bulk of his four-year career as a backup running back for the Cleveland Browns and finished his 2020 season with the Houston Texans. Regardless of if any of the four are signed, they can remain on the waiver wire. With White sidelined, Damien Harris will remain the top option in the Patriots backfield with veteran Brandon Bolden and rookies J.J. Taylor and Rhamondre Stevenson also seeing a piece of the backfield. Bolden led the Patriots backfield in snaps in Week 3, but the Patriots have plenty options and tend to change up their running game on a weekly basis. For now, Harris remains the safest Patriots running back to roster.
