Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski tests positive for COVID-19

BEREA, Ohio -- Cleveland Browns coach Kevin Stefanski has tested positive for COVID-19, the team announced Wednesday.

If Stefanski does not produce two negative tests in time for Saturday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders, special teams coordinator Mike Priefer will serve as Cleveland's acting head coach.

In a statement, the team said that Stefanski, 39, "is feeling fine and will continue his head-coaching duties virtually." Stefanski said Tuesday that he had received the booster on top of being vaccinated.

Browns running backs coach Ryan Cordell also tested positive.

Tuesday, the Browns placed eight players on the COVID-19/reserve list, including four offensive starters in five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Jarvis Landry, offensive guard Wyatt Teller, tight end Austin Hooper and left tackle Jedrick Wills Jr.
