The New York Giants will be without offensive coordinator Jason Garrett on Sunday night against the Cleveland Browns after he tested positive for COVID-19.
In Garrett’s place, tight ends coach Freddie Kitchens will call the plays.
But Garrett isn’t the only member of the Giants who will sit out on Sunday Night Football. The team announced on Thursday that cornerback James Bradberry has been placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list after coming into contact with a “high risk” person.
The Giants note that the contact came outside the organization and is unrelated to Garrett testing positive.
“Cornerback James Bradberry has been placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list,” the Giants said in a statement.”
“Bradberry was placed on the list because he was deemed to be a high risk close contact of an individual who has tested positive. The contact did not occur at the Giants facility and the individual is not a member of the organization.
“Bradberry will remain isolated from the team and continue to participate in meetings remotely. Given the timing of the close contact, Bradberry will miss Sunday night’s game against Cleveland. If he continues to test negatively and has no symptoms, he would come off the reserve list on Monday.”
In Bradberry’s absence, the Giants will rely on Isaac Yiadom, Montre Hartage, Julian Love, rookie Jarren Williams and possibly Logan Ryan to stop Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland Browns offense.
