Jaguars director of football communications Dylan Morton talks with Jacksonville Jaguars defensive tackle Arik Armstead (91) at the end of the organized team activity session Monday, June 3, 2024 at EverBank Stadium's Miller Electric Center in Jacksonville, Fla.

The Jacksonville Jaguars placed defensive lineman Arik Armstead on the active/physically unable to perform list Saturday.

Armstead, 30, is recovering from offseason surgery to repair a torn meniscus. He missed five games last season with foot and knee injuries before returning to help the San Francisco 49ers advance to Super Bowl LVIII.

Armstead signed a three-year, $43.5 million contract with Jacksonville on March 14, a day after being released by the 49ers.

He recorded five sacks in 12 starts during the 2023 regular season. He has 33.5 sacks, 88 quarterback hits and 302 tackles in 116 career games (97 starts) since being selected by San Francisco with the 17th overall pick of the 2015 NFL Draft.
