Browns Facility Remains Closed as Team Awaits COVID-19 Test Results, Contact Tracing

The Browns' training facility remains closed just five days before the team's wild-card playoff game Sunday night against the Steelers after multiple players and staff members tested positive for COVID-19, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported.

The team is virtually preparing for the AFC North showdown as it waits for additional COVID-19 test results, according to ESPN. Tuesday morning's results reportedly showed no new positives.

As long as the Browns don't have additional positive tests, Sunday's wild-card game will likely be played as scheduled. The NFL hasn't discovered any evidence that the virus is spreading through the team facility, a league spokesman told ProFootballTalk.
