Browns’ Mayfield & Keenum Remain In COVID Protocols, Mullens To Start vs. Raiders

Cleveland Browns quarterbacks Baker Mayfield and Case Keenum could not test out of COVID protocols. They will be unavailable for Monday’s matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

#Browns QBs Baker Mayfield and Case Keenum didn’t test out of COVID protocols, so it’ll be Nick Mullens starting today against the #Raiders, per sources.

That leaves third-string quarterback Nick Mullens to make his first career start as a Cleveland Brown this week. The league initially moved this matchup from Saturday to Monday in an attempt to give Mayfield, Keenum, and others a chance to return for the game, but neither of the pivots could return in time.
