Browns activate John Johnson III - but that is it

The Cleveland Browns activated safety John Johnson III from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday, meaning he will be eligible to play against the Las Vegas Raiders later today.

But that is as far as it goes for the Browns getting back the rest of their players currently on the list, meaning that quarterback Nick Mullens will be getting the start at FirstEnergy Stadium.

Mullens will be backed up by quarterback Kyle Lauletta, who the Browns signed on Friday from the practice squad of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
