The Cleveland Browns are being decimated by COVID-19.

According to Adam Schefter, Field Yates and Kimberley Martin, Browns QB Baker Mayfield has tested positive for COVID-19, which is less than 24 hours after several of his teammates tested the same.

Browns’ QB Baker Mayfield has tested positive for COVID-19, sources tell @FieldYates, @ByKimberleyA and me. Unless he produces two negative tests between Saturday, he’s out vs. Raiders.

Browns’ QB Baker Mayfield is said to “feel completely normal”, per a source, but he has tested positive for COVID. Now Case Keenum is in line to start Saturday vs. the Raiders, with Nick Mullens as his backup.

On top of that news was Browns had HC Kevin Stefanski testing positive just this morning as well.

Vaccinated players and coaches need to have two negative tests 24 hours apart to get out of the protocol. The Browns are running low on time as the team will be playing on Saturday.
