Cleveland Browns shut down facility as another player tests positive for COVID-19

BEREA, Ohio -- The Cleveland Browns have shut down their practice facility once again after another player tested positive Monday morning for COVID-19.

"We're trying to follow all the rules and keep everybody safe," said coach Kevin Stefanski, who noted that contact tracing is ongoing.

Fullback  Andy Janovich was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list later Monday.

This is the second consecutive week a Cleveland player has tested positive. The Browns had to shut down their facility Friday for contact tracing, then placed reserve offensive lineman Chris Hubbard on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
