Shorthanded doesn’t begin to describe the Cleveland Browns’ status entering Sunday’s 1 p.m. ET kickoff with the Jets in New York. The sparse inactive list reflects the Browns’ roster issues caused by a late outbreak of contact tracing and injuries.
The inactives list doesn’t include the multitude of players placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list over the weekend. That group includes Jarvis Landry, Rashard Higgins and the receiving corps as well as LBs Jacob Phillips and B.J. Goodson.
Just four players are inactive:
S Tedric Thompson
T Jedrick Wills Jr.
G Wyatt Teller
DE Joe Jackson
Wills is out with an illness and Teller was already ruled out with his ankle injury.
