Brown is the latest NFL team to close their facility due to a positive COVID-19 test.
The team said in a statement that the Cleveland Browns were informed early this morning that the player’s test results had been returned for COVID-19. “The Browns facility is closed this morning as the individual is immediately self-isolated and a contact investigation is being conducted. The team will continue to hold meetings remotely (part of the NFL-NFLPA intensive protocol) and consult with league and medical experts on appropriate steps.” Because the health and safety of our players, coaches, staff and the community as a whole has been our top priority. “
On Sunday the Browns host Textons. The schedule of that game has not changed at present.
Seaweed-19 cases are on the rise across the country, and the NFL is no exception, with excitement in positive tests. The league is still hopeful that each team can finish the regular 16-game regular season schedule on time, but plans to delay or change the postseason format if that doesn’t happen.
