Fans attending Bengals-Browns game at Cleveland's FirstEnergy Stadium signed health pledge

The approximately 6,000 fans set to attend Thursday night's showdown between the Browns and Cincinnati Bengals at Cleveland's FirstEnergy Stadium signed a "health promise," according to NFL Network reporter Aditi Kinkhabwala, pledging to not come to the stadium if they are sick and promising to keep their masks on unless they are eating or drinking.

Kinkhabwala added that fans at Thursday's game are Browns season-ticket holders with the most seniority, and the 6,000 seats sold out immediately.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced earlier this month that about 10 percent of FirstEnergy Stadium can be filled - meaning up to 6,000 fans - for upcoming games in Cleveland as well as at Cincinnati's Paul Brown Stadium.
