The Cleveland Browns definitely needed some good news going into their game tomorrow with the Philadelphia Eagles.
OT Jack Conklin and K Cody Parkey both activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list. They’re good to go for Sunday #Browns

After yesterday’s jarring news of Myles Garrett testing positive for COVID-19 and out for the game, finding out that starting right tackle Jack Conklin and kicker Cody Parkey were activated is the best news possible for the Browns.
Though they did not practice this week, both will play in tomorrow’s game.
Lack of practice does not appear to be a concern for Conklin.
#Browns OC Alex Van Pelt says RT Jack Conklin will be fine without practicing all week. The hope is he returns from COVID list in time to play Sunday vs. #Eagles.

Though not at the facility, Parkey likely practiced at home this week.
Parkey has converted 11 out of 12 field goals this season including 6 from 40+ yards.
He has brought consistency and reliability to the kicking game since the Browns released K Austin Seibert after Week 1.
Reserve/COVID-19 List
In addition to Myles Garrett, OT Chris Hubbard and FB Andy Janovich remain on the Browns’ Reserve/COVID-19 list.
The Browns are bringing FB Johnny Stanton up from the practice squad to fill Janovich’s roster spot.
G Michael Dunn is also elevated from the practice squad to provide additional coverage in Hubbard’s absence and because Wyatt Teller is still battling the calf injury.
It is unknown when Garrett, Hubbard, or Janovich will be activated.
Coach Stefanski has preached “the next man up” mentality all season as the Browns have battled significant injuries with RB Nick Chubb, TE Austin Hooper, and WR Odell Beckham Jr., just to name a few.
The team will need everyone to perform at their highest level to defeat an opportune Philadelphia Eagles team on Sunday at FirstEnergy Stadium.
Despite it only being Week 11, both teams are in must-win situations as they are trying to stay alive in the playoff pictures in their respected divisions.
