Browns Place Jarvis Landry, 7 Others On COVID List With Saturday Game Looming

The Cleveland Browns placed eight players on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday, including wide receiver Jarvis Landry, offensive guard Wyatt Teller, tight end Austin Hooper and left tackle Jedrick Wills Jr.

ESPN reports that defensive end Takk McKinley, punt returner JoJo Natson, backup guard Drew Forbes and reserve tight end Ross Travis also were placed on the list, and that all eight players are vaccinated.

The Browns were placed in enhanced mitigation protocols by the league after Tuesday's testing, and all meetings will be conducted virtually.

Vaccinated players can return only after producing two negative tests 24 hours apart, while NFL protocols state that unvaccinated players must sit a minimum of 10 days.

ESPN reports that Cleveland (7-6) is fighting for a playoff spot, with the Browns having a 38.1% chance to make the postseason, per ESPN's Football Power Index.
