The Cleveland Browns are delaying their flight to New Jersey to conduct contact tracing after a player tested positive for COVID-19.

The Browns are scheduled to play the New York Jets at 1 p.m. ET Sunday.

Starting linebacker B.J. Goodson was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday.

Starting left tackle Jedrick Wills was activated Saturday after being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list earlier this week for coming into contact with an individual outside the organization who tested positive.

The Browns could clinch their first playoff berth in 18 years on Sunday with a victory and losses by either Miami, Baltimore or Indianapolis.
