The Cleveland
Browns closed their facility in Berea, Ohio, on Monday after a
player tested positive for COVID-19.
The team said the player "immediately self-isolated" and the
facility will be closed while contact tracing is being
conducted.
"The team will continue to consult with the league and medical
experts on the appropriate next steps as the health and safety
of our players, coaches, staff and the entire community remains
our highest priority," the Browns said in a statement.
Later Monday afternoon, Cleveland placed fullback Andy Janovich
on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
A similar shutdown happened last Friday and guard Chris Hubbard
was later placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
The Browns (6-3) beat the visiting Houston Texans 10-7 on Sunday
afternoon. Janovich played in the victory.
