It’s been a nearly impossible task to keep track of which Cleveland Browns players will be available for Monday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Between the COVID-19 outbreak and the NFL moving the game from Saturday to Monday, the availability is a constantly morphing question.
With just 90 minutes to kickoff, the Browns were forced to choose the final eligible players for the critical AFC matchup. Remember, players on the reserve/COVID-19 list do not need to be made inactive.
Here is who the Browns, led by special teams coach Mike Priefer in place of Kevin Stefanski, made inactive:
DT Josiah Bronson
WR Lawrence Cager
CB Greg Newsome II
Newsome was already ruled out with an injury on the initial weekly injury report. That left just two players needing to be rendered inactive. Normally the list is six to eight players, depending on the week.
