The Browns have placed more players on the reserve/COVID-19 list, including running back Kareem Hunt. The team announced that the following players have landed on the reserve/COVID-19 list:
S Grant Delpit- LB Tony Fields II
- CB A.J. Green
- S Ronnie Harrison Jr.
- RB Kareem Hunt
- QB Case Keenum
- LB Jacob Phillips
- LB Mack Wilson
In his third season with the Browns, Hunt has totalled 386 rushing yards and five touchdowns, along with an additional 174 yards on 22 catches in eight games. The 26-year-old has been a key member of the Browns’ backfield alongside Nick Chubb, helping the team average 143.5 rushing yards per game, ranking fourth in the NFL.
The team also announced that offensive assistant coach T.C. McCartney has tested positive for COVID-19. We learned earlier today that the NFL was pushing Saturday’s game between the Browns and Raiders to Monday.
Meanwhile, Cleveland activated linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. from the reserve/COVID-19 list, and they’ve signed quarterback Kyle Lauletta to the active roster off the Jaguars practice squad. Lauletta, 26, has appeared in just two NFL games. Both were with the Giants in 2018, where he went 0-for-five with one interception. He has since spent time on the Eagles’, Falcons’ and Browns’ practice squads, only going to Jacksonville’s after being waived at the end of August.
If Nick Chubb and D’Ernest Johnson go on the COVID list the Browns have nobody left. I heard Clowney got it too.
Sounds like they are ok for now. I heard the Raiders are fighting this trying to have the game canceled and won by forfeit instead of having it moved. Something about how this rule was put in place in August so there wouldn’t be a situation like last year where games are constantly changed on the fly.
So the Raiders, who openly cut players that were not vaxed to reach 100%, are looking to have the game canceled. This would mean a forever record with an asterisk (*) showing won by forfeit, along with paying the TV Network money back, and losing a weeks pay?
I highly doubt that either team, front office, or coaching staff wants the forfeit. As a matter of fact, I am willing to bet that the guys who got called up with a chance to put live game film together are highly disappointed.
Agreed. Can’t see it being cancelled. Like you said too much money involved.
I just hope for all 3 games that were moved they have bough players to field a lineup.
