Armstead was waived by the Jaguars on Monday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Armstead will look for another team after he spent the 2021 campaign on and off multiple practice squads. The running back has appeared in 18 career games -- all with the Jaguars -- turning 50 carries into 188 yards while also catching 17 passes for 160 yards and two scores. Given he has a serviceable body of work in the NFL, Armstead should be able to find another landing spot in the league.

Armstead rushed the ball nine times for 52 yards in Sunday's 26-11 win over the Colts. He added two receptions for 10 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Armstead was out-touched by Dare Ogunbowale 14-11, yet he managed to compile seven greater total yards. He did so largely on the strength of a 26-yard rush midway through the third quarter, which helped set up Jacksonville's final score of the game. Armstead has spent the final three weeks of the season with the team, though his role could be in question in 2022 with Travis Etienne (foot) likely to take over as the lead back and James Robinson (Achilles) also likely to have significant involvement if he proves to be healthy.

Armstead had six carries for 28 yards and caught one of two targets for six yards during Sunday's 50-10 loss to the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
The 2019 fifth-round pick saw his first game action since 2019 and averaged 4.9 yards per touch while operating as Jacksonville's No. 2 tailback behind Dare Ogunbowale. Armstead figures to fill a similar role in the season finale next week.

Armstead is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
Armstead was a healthy scratch Week 16 after inking a deal with the Jags a few days prior, but he's now set to see his first game action since 2019. The 25-year-old should operate as Jacksonville's No. 2 tailback behind starter Dare Ogunbowale, as the only other running back active is Nathan Cottrell, who is up from the practice squad.

EDGE Analysis
Armstead signed with Jacksonville on Wednesday but won't be active for Week 16. Dare Ogunbowale will serve as the No. 2 tailback with Nathan Cottrell the depth option behind starter James Robinson.

Armstead signed a contract with the Jaguars on Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Armstead was selected by the Jaguars in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft and rushed 35 times for 108 yards while securing 14 of 24 targets for 144 yards and two touchdowns. However, he missed the entire 2020 campaign due to complications from COVID-19. Carlos Hyde (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, so Armstead will likely compete to serve as the No. 2 running back behind James Robinson.

Armstead signed a deal with the Packers' practice squad on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Armstead will join Green Bay as a result of the Packers placing Aaron Rodgers and Isaac Yiadom on the reserve/COVID-19 list. The running back will likely fill a depth role for Green Bay until the Packers reactivate Rodgers and Yiadom to their roster.

EDGE Analysis
Armstead was brought in for a workout as a potential replacement for Kylin Hill (knee), who was placed on injured reserve Monday following a nasty hit Thursday night on a kickoff return. Armstead was cut loose by New Orleans prior to Week 8 and has failed to appear in a game so far in 2021.

Armstead was cut from the Saints' practice squad Thursday, Luke Johnson of the New Orleans Advocate reports.

Armstead was signed to the Saints' practice squad Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Armstead spent some time with the Giants during the offseason before being let go in late June, and he'll now receive an opportunity on the Saints' practice squad. The 24-year-old missed the entirety of the 2020 campaign due to health issues related to COVID-19.
