BEREA, Ohio- Hardly a week after being sidelined, Cleveland Browns lead quarterback Baker Mayfield, 26, and four other key players have been activated from the COVOD-19 quarantine list and will play in today's game against the Green Bay Packers at 4:30 pm, and under the leadership of head coach Kevin Stefanski, who returned Wednesday after roughly a week's leave relative to COVID-19.
All of the aforementioned missed Monday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders, a game the Browns lost 16-14.
A Browns spokesperson tweeted that "we have activated the following players from the reserve/COVID-19 list and made other roster moves:
- QB Baker Mayfield - QB Case Keenum - WR Jarvis Landry - CB AJ Green - DE Ifeadi Odengibo"
The NFL has announced changes to health and safety protocols due to increased COVID-19 cases among players and coaching staff nationwide.
"Effective immediately, all clubs will implement preventative measures, masking regardless of vaccination status.....eliminating in-person meals, and no outside visitors while on team travel," a spokesperson said in a statement on behalf of the NFL. "We will continue to strongly encourage booster shots as the most effective protection."
Mayfield criticized the NFL for vacillating on COVID-19 health and safety protocols as the Browns struggle with at least half of their roster out with COVID-19.
"Make up your damn mind on protocols. Showing up and making only 3 teams test?!? All so you can keep the game as scheduled to make money," Mayfield tweeted.
