I have heard a lot of talk about Armstead, but I think the best way to move forward is to expect nothing from him. Seriously, he has been out of football for a year and has not seen an NFL practice field. We know nothing about the details of his infection. I have tried really hard to do some research on this but there are no details out there.
Here is what I do know. He had a heart attack as a result of Toradol. He was been out for a year with some mysterious illness or infection. It would be likely that the two are related. His infection required surgery. There are only a few infections that actually require surgery. I remember reading somewhere that his heart attack left his heart in a state where he would require a defibrillator or pacemaker. those pacemaker sites can get infected. That would require surgery and put him out for the year. MRSA would be a common bacteria if that were the case.
If he had some other unrelated infection or illness, then he's just a health hazard period on top of his history of heart attack.
Some speculation to think about.
Yeah, his situation is weird, speaking as one with no knowledge.
Healthy though, he could make the team athletically and otherwise, it seems
