A positive test
result from a player led the Cleveland Browns to close down the
team facility in Berea, Ohio, on Friday morning.
The team reopened the facility on Friday afternoon after contact
tracing was completed and no high-risk close contacts were
identified. The Browns scheduled a practice for 4 p.m. ET.
The team did not name the player who tested positive, however
guard Chris Hubbard was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Hubbard, 29, has started four of his seven games this season and
has played in 76 career games with the Browns (2018-20) and
Pittsburgh Steelers (2014-17).
The Browns were on a bye last week and quarterback Baker
Mayfield was placed on the reserve/COVID list. He was activated
Wednesday.
Cleveland (5-3) is scheduled to host the Houston Texans (2-6) on
Sunday.
