Browns close facility after player tests positive for COVID-19
As coronavirus cases continue to rise across the United States, so do the number of NFL players who test positive for the virus.
The Cleveland Browns announced Friday that they have shut down their practice facility following a positive coronavirus test from a player. They'll work virtually as they continue to do contact tracing.
Last weekend, Cleveland was forced to place Baker Mayfield on the reserve/COVID list after the quarterback came into contact with a staff member who tested positive for COVID-19. Mayfield never tested positive and returned to practice on Wednesday.
The Browns are set to play the Houston Texans on Sunday, and that game currently is set to be played as scheduled.
