The Week 15 game between the Las Vegas Raiders and the Cleveland Browns has officially been rescheduled. The two teams were scheduled to meet on Saturday in Cleveland at 4:30 PM ET in the first Saturday game of the year.
That game has now been moved to Monday at 5:00 PM ET, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter:

However, the Cleveland Browns are in the middle of a COVID-19 outbreak as upwards of 20 players have tested positive in the last two days. That list includes both Baker Mayfield and Case Keenum at quarterback.
The latest player to test positive for COVID-19 is defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, who has had a nice season for the Browns opposite of Myles Garrett.
With both the Raiders and Browns still in playoff contention, this obviously a huge game for both teams. Cleveland is currently one game up on the Raiders in the Wild Card race, but both teams need a win to keep their playoff hopes alive.
We will continue to update this story as more information becomes available.
