CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns got a welcomed reprieve after days of positive COVID-19 tests. The NFL moved Cleveland’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders to Monday as the Browns grappled with a virus outbreak that sidelined coach Kevin Stefanski, quarterback Baker Mayfield, defensive end Jadeveon Clowney and more than a dozen regulars.

The Browns added eight more players on a COVID-19 reserve list now at 24.
