Saints' Armstead won't play vs. Broncos after testing positive
New Orleans Saints left tackle Terron Armstead won't play against the Denver Broncos after testing positive for COVID-19, he announced Saturday on Twitter.
Found out this morning that I tested positive for Covid! I feel completely normal and ready to go play with my guys tomorrow. Unfortunately that can’t happen and while that shit sucks, I can’t downplay the impact covid has had on so many lives. Everyone stay safe 🙌🏾 #WhoDat ⚜️

With Armstead out, the Saints will be down two of their top offensive linemen, as guard Andrus Peat is dealing with a concussion.
New Orleans will undergo contact tracing to determine if anyone else needs to be placed on the reserve list.
James Hurst will likely start in Armstead's place, while Nick Easton will slot in at left guard.
