CLEVELAND (AP) — A person familiar with the Cleveland Browns’ situation tells The Associated Press that quarterback Baker Mayfield didn’t clear COVID-19 testing in time to be activated and play Monday, so third-stringer Nick Mullens will start against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Browns had hoped the NFL’s decision to postpone the game from Saturday until Monday would allow players to return. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the team doesn’t have to reveal its eligible players until later in the day. The Browns will also be without coach Kevin Stefanski. He tested positive last week along with a long list of Cleveland’s players.
