Watch the Raiders still choke
10am report today
BEREA, Ohio -- Cleveland Browns quarterbacks Baker Mayfield and Case Keenum failed to test off the reserve/COVID-19 list, meaning third-string quarterback Nick Mullens will get the start Monday against the Las Vegas Raiders, a source told ESPN.
On Sunday, Mayfield had posted on his Instagram Story that he "had no symptoms" and was "praying to test negative for COVID.''
The Browns did get one key defender back, as safety John Johnson III was activated Monday morning. But no other player tested off the reserve/COVID-19 list, meaning Cleveland will enter the game with 22 players still on the list, including 10 starters. No other Browns player is expected to be activated before the 2 p.m. ET deadline, a source told ESPN.
Cleveland also will be without coach Kevin Stefanski after he tested positive for the virus last week, the team announced Monday. Special teams coordinator Mike Priefer will serve as the acting head coach for the game.

Browns get guard Teller back from COVID list

The news that Mayfield and Keenum did not clear the protocols was first reported by NFL Network.
In light of Cleveland's COVID-19 outbreak, the NFL rescheduled the Raiders game from Saturday to Monday at 5 p.m. ET.
On Sunday, the Browns also got back guard Wyatt Teller. But they will be without several other key players against Las Vegas, including wide receivers Jarvis Landry, tight end Austin Hooper and defensive end Jadeveon Clowney.
Hope the Raiders can stop the run, that would be the main reason if the Browns win, they run it all over the Raiders like
we did with Mixon. Teller being back really helps them dang it all. Never heard of this Nick Mullens dude BTW.
