The Browns have kept everyone on pins and needles with their abundance of roster moves over the last few days. And the Browns remain quite busy on Wednesday.

In addition to the Greg Newsome II news — the rookie CB is back from concussion protocols but added to the reserve/COVID-19 list — the Browns announced that head coach Kevin Stefanski is back in the building after clearing the required COVID-19 protocols.

Coach Stefanski isn’t the only member of the Browns to return. Cleveland also activated TE Austin Hooper and LB Jacob Phillips from the reserve/COVID-19 list. Practice squad WR Jojo Natson has also cleared protocols and returns to the team.

The Browns also made the earlier reports official and waived punter Jamie Gillan, who was still on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Browns reserve/COVID-19 list: Updated Monday at 10AM

Based on the team announcing one player returning from the list this AM, here are all the players likely to miss the game just on the reserve/COVID-19 list as of Monday morning:

The Cleveland Browns have a ton of players still on the reserve/COVID-19 list as of Monday morning at 10 AM. Not a lot has changed despite the NFL and NFLPA agreeing to new rules to help expedite the return for some players and moving the game back 48 hours.

The Las Vegas Raiders will play the Browns at 5 PM tonight. Whoever is available for the team is who will take the field in front of their home fans with a chance to take the lead in the AFC North.

While fans were hopeful that a large swath of players would come off the list over the weekend, that didn’t happen. Instead, two players were added to the list and two players came off the list. Takk McKinley and Wyatt Teller are back while counterparts in their position groups took their places.

The team has announced one player being activated from the reserve list Monday with little expectation that anyone else will be cleared in time for the game.

As of Monday at 10 AM, here is who is on the Cleveland reserve/COVID-19 list broken out by position.
