The Browns' run-in with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has added two new members to their group of positive tests.
A coach and practice squad player have tested positive for the illness caused by the novel coronavirus, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported, per a source informed of the situation. Cleveland closed its facility for most of Wednesday while conducting contact tracing.
The team announced the player and staff member positives and closing of its facility a short time later.
"The team will continue to work remotely and follow the NFL-NFLPA intensive protocols as the health and safety of our team, staff and the entire community is our highest priority," the Browns said in a statement.
