As a result of their positive tests, the Browns have yet to be able to practice this week heading into the Wild Card game. Entering last week’s playoff-clinching regular-season finale against the Steelers, Cleveland had placed six players on the NFL’s reserve/COVID-19 list, which was created for players who have either tested positive for or been exposed to the coronavirus.
While the Browns have since activated linebacker B.J. Goodson and safety Andrew Sendejo from the COVID-19 list, it remains unclear whether any of the other players who are currently on the list will be able to return in time to face the Steelers. Among the Cleveland players currently on the NFL’s reserve/COVID-19 list are the following:
Sunday’s matchup between the Browns and Steelers at Heinz Field will kickoff at 8:15 p.m. ET and air on NBC.
