Denzel Ward will miss Week 17 for the Cleveland Browns

The Cleveland Browns will be without cornerback Denzel Ward due to COVID-19 for their final game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the team announced Thursday.

Ward was consequently placed on the team’s COVID-19 reserve list. Additionally, the team placed Malcolm Smith and Harrison Bryant on the list after they tested positive for the virus. Both players must miss at least10 days, which could put their availability for a potential playoff game in jeopardy.
