Cleveland Browns cleared for walk-through, activate 3 starters off reserve/COVID-19 list

BEREA, Ohio -- The Cleveland Browns were cleared by the NFL to hold a walk-through Saturday afternoon, before flying to Pittsburgh for Sunday night's playoff game against the Steelers, while getting back three starters off the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Before the walk-through, the Browns activated TE Harrison Bryant, S Ronnie Harrison Jr. and LB Malcolm Smith off the virus list, clearing the way for them to play Sunday night in Pittsburgh. Bryant and Smith missed this past Sunday's game on the list, while Harrison's positive test this week was determined to be a false positive.

The Browns have battled COVID-19 issues all week, with both head coach Kevin Stefanski and Pro Bowl guard Joel Bitonio testing positive for the virus.
