Last season, Stefanski missed the Browns’ 48-37 win over Pittsburgh in the wild-card round, out with COVID-19 and Priefer and Van Pelt filling in. Special teams coordinator Mike Priefer will be Cleveland’s interim coach and offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt will handle play-calling duties. He tested positive last week, when a slew of positive tests tore into Cleveland’s roster and threatened to upend the team’s chances of making the playoffs.
Stefanski is missing his second big game in a year. However, Mayfield didn’t produce a required negative test and safety John Johnson III was the only starter activated in the hours before Monday’s kickoff.Ĭleveland has 22 players, including nine starters and several key backups, on the COVID-19 reserve list. The Browns had hoped the NFL’s decision to postpone the game from Saturday until Monday would allow Mayfield and other sidelined players to return.
