<p>EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New York Giants added their second running back in three days on Tuesday when they claimed Ryquell Armstead off waivers.</p>
<p>Armstead, who was released Monday by the Jacksonville Jaguars, joins Corey Clement as a contender to back up Saquon Barkley next season. </p>
<p>Clement, who played the previous four seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, was signed Sunday after attending the Giants’ rookie minicamp on a tryout basis.</p>
<p>Armstead spent all of last season on the COVID-19 list. A fifth-round pick from Temple in 2019, Armstead was hospitalized twice and dealt with respiratory issues. The Jaguars said last season he was expected to make a full recovery.</p>
<p>He played in all 16 games as a rookie with one start. He finished with 35 carries for 108 yards and caught 14 passes for 144 yards and two touchdowns. </p>
<p>The Giants also terminated the contract of quarterback Joe Webb, who played in two games last season on special teams.</p>
