Browns Close Facility After Positive COVID Cases

[Shoes]

Even in the final week of the regular season, the Pittsburgh Steelers can’t escape COVID news. The Cleveland Browns, who the Steelers are scheduled to face Sunday afternoon, announced they’ve closed their team facility due to new positive COVID cases among the team.
The Browns released the following statement:

Maybe we can play them on Wednesday afternoon right before our playoff game on Saturday? Lol.

They better not delay this game.

Steelers inform the commish that they’ll gladly forfeit the game to the Browns if the whole dancing without masks kindly goes away [emoji1787]

We get that bye week we lost at a good time [emoji106][emoji41]

fuck no, i'd rather forfeit this game and take a bye week, even if it means giving the browns a win by default

It’s funny cause it’s true...

Exactly. If they do we should be the first team in NFL history to forfeit.

[JimHarbaugh'ssoakedtissue]

Heck with it and just let Mason & Miles play the game.

:applaudit: Very clever

Uh oh... chatter about 8 playoff teams on each side.

[Born2Steel]

Why not just throw everyone into a double elimination round-robin winner take all format? Even Jags fans would watch that. It's all about tv money right?

It was an idea floated out there as an entire season. Like a giant March Madness bracket, but with double elimination.

Fitz positive for covid

I like the idea of doubleheaders. Let's play two 3-quarter games next Sunday. Browns, then if they win we take a 30-minute break and play them again in the playoffs.

OMG ! Here we go again with the Baltimore scenerio....what a F**KED UP season and up coming play-offs. This whole sport year should be written with ** highlights.

[Rotorhead]

Fuckem, the Broncos had to play without a damn QB this year, they had a dam WR throwing the ball, the Browns are garbage anyway, if they would have beat the Jets last week they wouldn’t even need this game.

[86WARD]

They won’t cancel or postpone this game...no way.

[Fire Goodell]

Reschedule shouldn't even be an option on week 17. Unless it's like the Bengals vs Jets or something like that

[CV1]

Fuck the Browns...

Make them Iron Man - 2 way play the game with 21 players [emoji1787]

Well...practice squad...helmets on...you're up.

[Rotorhead]

What is funny is we were all fine with losing with Rudolph playing, and if things go bad for COVID with them we will win with second stringers lol. I just hope we don’t get anyone infected during the dam game

So, any repercussions forthcoming from the league against the Browns for having to close their team facility for a SIXTH time in the last month-and-a-half? They were sure quick enough about tagging the Steelers and Tomlin.

Denzel Ward tested positive.

[teegre]

Denzel Ward tested positive.

He is out this week... and, if the Browns make the playoffs, he would be out for the first game, as well.

As of Friday, the Browns have six players on the reserve/COVID-19 list: LB B.J. Goodson (https://www.clevelandbrowns.com/team/players-roster/b-j-goodson/), LB Malcolm Smith (https://www.clevelandbrowns.com/team/players-roster/malcolm-smith/), CB Denzel Ward (https://www.clevelandbrowns.com/team/players-roster/denzel-ward/), S Andrew Sendejo (https://www.clevelandbrowns.com/team/players-roster/andrew-sendejo/), TE Harrison Bryant (https://www.clevelandbrowns.com/team/players-roster/harrison-bryant/) and S Karl Joseph (https://www.clevelandbrowns.com/team/players-roster/karl-joseph/). After Smith and Ward landed on the list Thursday, Cleveland wasn't able to hold a practice until it returned to the field Friday afternoon.

[Trellaine]

Ugh. Not this again.

[ShoeHorn]

This is crap. Playing this game could land some Steeler players on the covid list for the first playoff game. UGH!!!

[tube517]

Joe Haden is apparently tested positive. He would likely miss first playoff game.
