COVID-19 problems continue for Browns on Thursday

On Wednesday, the Cleveland Browns were forced to close their facilities for contact tracing due to a pair of positive COVID-19 tests. On Thursday, ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter is now saying there have been more positive tests and the Browns facility will remain closed with just four days until they host the Pittsburgh Steelers in the regular-season finale.

This could create a real problem for the Steelers if the Browns continue to have positive tests. Given the way the NFL has treated the Steelers all season when other teams are irresponsible, no one would be shocked if the league decides to move this game and the Steelers end up the one playoff team who is forced to go into the first round on a short week.
