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.

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.
