Giants' Ray-Ray Armstrong: Posts 10 tackles in five games with Giants
Armstrong made 10 tackles (five solo) and forced one fumble in five games with the Giants during the 2017 regular season.
Armstrong spent his first 10 contests of the regular season in San Francisco, where he racked up 54 tackles (39 solo), one sack, two passes defensed, two interceptions and one forced fumble before being released in late November. The Giants primarily used Armstrong on special teams, but he finally saw more than 20 defensive snaps in each of the team's final two games of the season. If Armstrong is able to make the final roster in 2018, he'd once again provide depth at outside linebacker.

Giants' Ray-Ray Armstrong: Claimed by Giants
Armstrong was claimed off waivers by the Giants on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Armstrong was waived by the 49ers over the weekend, and it's no surprise to see the Giants put in the claim since they just placed two more linebackers on injured reserve. The 28-year-old should serve as a reserve strong-side linebacker in New York, but he could potentially carve out a larger role given the team's injury situation.

Ray-Ray Armstrong: Released by 49ers
Armstrong was released by the 49ers on Friday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
The move was made in order to make room on the roster to activate Tank Carridine off injured reserve. Armstrong had seen his role reduced in recent weeks, so it is not surprising he was the odd man out in the situation. He'll now either look for a new opportunity or land on the team's practice squad.

49ers' Ray-Ray Armstrong: Sees reduction in playing time
Armstrong recorded five tackles (all solo) in Sunday's blowout loss to the Cowboys, but he was only on the field for 27 of the team's 75 defensive snaps.
Armstrong was dealing with a minor shoulder injury heading into Sunday's contest, and while that may have played a role in the reduced role, the majority of his snaps were absorbed by safety Eric Reid, who playing out of position at outside linebacker. This development -- coupled with Reuben Foster's return -- could end what was a solid run for Armstrong as an IDP factor.

49ers' Ray-Ray Armstrong: Playing Sunday
Armstrong (shoulder) is listed as active Sunday against the Cowboys.
Despite dealing with a shoulder injury for the second week in row, Armstrong will continue to hold down the fort at left outside linebacker. That said, he may not match his 7.5 tackles per game with 2017 first-rounder Reuben Foster (ankle) replacing NaVorro Bowman as the play caller on defense.

49ers' Ray-Ray Armstrong: Questionable for Week 7

49ers' Ray-Ray Armstrong: Records eight tackles in loss
Armstrong racked up eight tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 26-24 loss to Washington.
Armstrong wasn't able to extend his two-game interception streak, but he still provided enough in the tackle department to help his IDP owners. NaVorro Bowman's unexpected release this week opened up a starting linebacker spot that Brock Coyle filled Sunday. While the 28-year-old has technically been filling in for Reuben Foster (ankle) at outside linebacker, the team will probably feel inclined to move its prized rookie back to his natural position of inside linebacker, which should keep Armstrong in the starting lineup after his strong play over the past five weeks (39 tackles, a sack, two interceptions and a forced fumble).

49ers' Ray-Ray Armstrong: Practices fully Friday
Armstrong (shoulder) logged a full workload at 49ers' practice Friday.
Armstrong was limited Wednesday and Thursday, but it looks like the team was being cautious with the 26-year-old. He is coming off a seven tackle (six solo), one interception performance in Week 5, and looks on track to play Sunday against the Redskins barring any setbacks.

49ers' Ray-Ray Armstrong: Picks off another pass Sunday
Armstrong racked up seven tackles (six solo) with his second interception in as many games in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss against the Colts.
Armstrong made a crucial interception of Jacoby Brissett in the overtime period, but the 49ers' offense was unable to capitalize on his efforts in an eventual loss. The 28-year-old has been a great source of tackles (31) in addition to his play in coverage over his last four starts. Reuben Foster (ankle) could return to action next week against the Redskins, but Armstrong's recent production may keep him in the starting lineup at the expense of Eli Harold.
