The Houston Texans have done a great job of avoiding COVID-19 to this point, but the Cleveland Browns will be testing their limits this week.
A Browns player has tested positive for the novel coronavirus following the Texans’ 10-7 loss Sunday afternoon at FirstEnergy Stadium.
On Oct. 26, Texans guard Max Scharping was the first player in the organization to test positive for COVID-19. The positive test occurred over Houston’s bye week.
On the evening of Nov. 4, outside linebacker Jacob Martin tested positive for COVID-19 and went on the coronavirus-related reserve. Outside linebacker Whitney Mercilus and inside linebacker Dylan Cole similarly went on the COVID-19 reserve due to contact tracing discovery, although they did not test positive at any point.
Browns offensive lineman Chris Hubbard tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday.
