Currently, here is the list of guys who are out for Saturday’s game against the Raiders right now because of COVID.

Returning from COVID
It’s not all bad news in Cleveland right now though.
On Wednesday, tight end David Njoku announced via Instagram that he would be back this week from a COVID absence.

Stay tuned through the rest of the week to see if anyone else becomes available for the Browns ahead of Saturday’s game with Las Vegas.

The nfl needs to test everyone on every team now, including the colts and the patriots, it seems funny that only 3 teams out of 32 have all these players out but the games the nfl wants to be played with all it’s players will be played because other teams haven’t been tested, the nfl doesn’t want the Browns, Rams, or Washington football team in the playoffs, that’s my belief.
