Browns trying to shake COVID-19 issues as Steelers await
By TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer
CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns’ COVID-19 issues aren’t easing. Cleveland closed its facility and delayed practice for the second straight day after two more players tested positive with the virus. The team’s latest COVID-19 situation has further impacted the Browns’ ability to prepare for Sunday’s big game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. A win will put the Browns in the playoffs for the first time since 2002. The Steelers are resting several starters, including quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. He’s 23-2-1 in his career against Cleveland. An NFL spokesman said the status for the game has not changed while standard contact tracing continues.
