Las Vegas coach Jon Gruden was hopeful all last week that standout right tackle Trent Brown would be able to play Sunday against the Cleveland Browns.
Yet, the team has made Brown one of their inactive players. Brown was activated off the reserve-COVID-19 list Friday after being on it for nine days. He practiced for the first time in three weeks Friday.
Friday, Gruden said Brown’s conditioning would be a big factor if he would be able to play. Clearly, that was a factor in the final decision.
Sam Young will likely start for Brown.
