Great part-time work if you can find it! Count the number of games missed by secondary. All legit, I want them all healthy, but Coach Stef has done a great job of slapping patches on this team.
I have only a dream as to how good we might be.
Just win, baby.

Rumors on twitter of mask-less players in the facility and a party that took place following the Giants game
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

Agreed. We have the makings of an excellent secondary if we can get everyone back healthy and they can STAY on the field.

Yeah as really hope that they can get healthy. As hate it that everybody took it out on Baker. You can only do so much.

The guy who posted it is just a guy with a Twitter account. In a later tweet he said players are dming him saying it's not true. The fact is if these players are all getting it from the same source the NFL and the Browns will know through the studies they are doing. So far they have stated that the positives are all from outside sources.

Yeah, the outside source is the problem.
Jim Donovan alluded to people not wearing masks in the facility last week, which sucks if true as well.

It doesn't matter what I think, 'cause I'm sure the players believe they can win Sunday, but if we do win it will be an amazing feat. That said, just remember the names of players who will be re-activated: Teller, Landry, Higgins, Wills, Peoples-Jones, Hodge, Taki, Phillips...not too shabby.

If true, then this coach and team needs to be fined heavily and we should probably lose Draft pick. We've earned that. I don't care if you don't like or agree with the rules, or if you are sick of them because of how long it has been going on.... play by the rules, or get bitten.

Yeah I agree ... gotta follow the rules, especially now. I hope it isnot true, but I trust Donovan to be truthful

I'm not Nostradamus (like some of you seem to think you are), but I still think we're going to win the game. Two words: Mason Rudolph; take a deep breath, guys.
If I end up being wrong, so be it, but I'll be damned if I'm throwing in the towel because we lost a CB who has already missed as much time as Ward has. Browns win Sunday 34-17. Call me nostradumbass.

Not having Ward isn't that big of a deal. We are accustomed to not having him available multiple games at a time.
Face it, Pandora's box has been opened. Between today(Fri) and tomorrow, I would expect to lose 3-4 more players, probably defensive backs.
If I was with the Steelers, I wouldn't want to play our infected team. My starters wouldn't even go to Cleveland. None of them, and maybe even a few key back-up's stay home.
The one's that do, they get off the bus and head straight to isolation trailers, assuming they can find a bus driver willing to drive them back. Those guys are usually pretty old after having driven for Greyhound for 35 years.

You already know you liked it, so you don't need to see your name in the list; it only shows you the others. What you will see is that next to where it said 'Like' you will see You like this and the 'Like' text will switch to 'Unlike'.

Hats off for that bit of clever! LOLetc. That made me laugh out loud. Just funny it struck me.
If we aren't totally controlling our facilities and following and enforcing our protocols, something is wrong, and and needs fixed brutally if possible.

I'm going to ask this question again...
........................................................
"Are other NFL teams having the same difficulties that the Browns have had keeping their franchises safe from Covid-19?"
.......................................................
It seems that the Browns have the worst timing and the worst luck compared to the rest of the NFL.

Yup same old Browns. I personally don't think it's coincidental that our outbreaks follow the 10-day incubation period after playing Lamar Jackson while he was still showing symptoms in the game we played him.

Right now it is about getting all the players on covid back on the team.
Maybe for this game we can survive because the Steelers are resting key guys. Our offense is pretty much intact.
If we do win though. We need our whole team.
Ward is a key player on defense. He can handle big time receivers. When we get a pass rush Ward is very important. When we don't get the rush he is important.
Goodson calls plays on defense and plays a big role.
We are not good enough to be missing starters.

I may be wrong but I thought Ward would be out if we play Saturday, but in if we play Sunday.

For the early risers: A #Browns source told me this morning they were informed the facility is closed this am until further notice, & they received instruction just to test & attend virtual meetings until further information is received.

Had a feeling it would come to this...As even the last time the NFL gave the Browns the green light to open, they remained closing the facility anyway for that day. I'm just hoping this all preventative, and not because others will be popping up on a Covid contact list.

I'm told there is a 'presumptive positive on a coach' and that coach is expected to get retested this morning, per source. https://twitter.com/JosinaAnderson/status/1345355699212185600

I’m at the Covid-fatigue point ... it would be nice to make the playoffs ... if not, at least we’re done hearing about this stuff for our sake
