CLEVELAND (AP) — Baker Mayfield was finally feeling good after taking some hard knocks this season. A blind-side hit off the field will likely keep the quarterback out of Cleveland’s game on Monday against Las Vegas. The NFL moved the game back two days after a rise in COVID-19 cases. Mayfield tested positive this week as the virus romped through the Browns and across the league.

However, Cleveland could be missing 10 starters due to positive tests. Backup Case Keenum had been expected to replace Mayfield, but he also tested positive.
