“I think it’s gonna be a while, I can’t put a real timetable on it but, you know, it’s gonna be — he’ll be out for a while,” head coach Doug Marrone said earlier this year.

Adam Schefter reports that Armstead has been hospitalized twice while battling with the virus, and has suffered significant respiratory issues. He was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list in September.

Armstead was drafted in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft by Jacksonville. He was expected to replace Leonard Fournette as the team’s starter. In his absence, rookie undrafted free agent James Robinson has shined, tallying 362 rushing yards and three touchdowns through six games.

COVID-19 has had a significant impact on the NFL throughout the 2020 season. The Titans were recently fined $350,000 for violations in regard to the league’s COVID-19 protocol. 24 members of the organization have tested positive for the coronavirus. The team has been warned that “there will be escalated discipline with further instances of COVID-19 protocol violations,” according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Kyle Ashen’s sun-drenched recollection with new release “That Local Girl”

KYLE

Kyle Ashen’s latest release, “That Local Girl,” is a gorgeous trip down memory lane, a country single that explores that golden glow of memory, like flipping through old photographs touched by salt air and summer sunlight. It’s warm, cinematic, and deeply relatable, a song about the kind of love story that never quite goes away, even as time moves on.

“That Local Girl” is filled with imagery that quickly takes the listener into a world they can walk right into. You got a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl on a boardwalk street by the ocean, a souped-up truck driving through town, neon lights reflecting off the ocean breeze, and the electric innocence of young love burning in the background.

But under all that cutesy trapping is something more than that, longing. Some people, some places that leave permanent marks on Kyle Ashen and us know that. What’s so brilliant about this song is that it marries those two ideas, making love and hometown memory feel beautifully inseparable. Sometimes you miss a person. And with that person, you miss an entire version of life. “That Local Girl” is more than a country love song from Kyle Ashen. He is a living postcard from the past, sun-faded, bittersweet, and glowing with feeling. A reminder that summers pass by, but some memories stay with us forever.
