Goodson and safety Andrew Sendejo have all tested positive in the past week, according to ESPN and multiple reports. Bryant and Sendejo were placed on the reserve\/COVID-19 list Tuesday, and Smith and Ward were added to it Thursday. Goodson went on the list last Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>The Browns did get some good news Thursday, as receivers Jarvis Landry, Rashard Higgins, Donovan Peoples-Jones and KhaDarel Hodge and linebacker Jacob Phillips were all activated off the reserve\/COVID-19 list. All five players, plus Goodson, sat during Sunday&#8217;s loss to the New York Jets while on the virus list.<\/p>\n<p>Cleveland won&#8217;t have Goodson, Sendejo, Smith, Bryant or Ward for Sunday&#8217;s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The three players who tested positive this week are now in jeopardy of missing a potential playoff opener as well.<\/p>\n<p>The Browns are looking to clinch their first playoff berth in 17 seasons with a victory Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the new cases, the game at Cleveland&#8217;s FirstEnergy Stadium has remained on schedule, according to an NFL spokesman. The league is closely monitoring the Browns&#8217; situation and overseeing standard contact tracing. The NFL&#8217;s Dr. Allen Sills has said that there&#8217;s been no indication that an outbreak within the Browns organization was underway.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/30632916\/browns-reopen-facility-no-new-positive-coronavirus-tests\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Covers the Big 12 Joined ESPN.com in 2011 Graduate of Washington &#038;
