Cleveland Browns close facility for second straight day after positive COVID-19 tests

For the second consecutive day, the Cleveland Browns have shut down their practice facility to conduct contact tracing after two more players tested positive for COVID-19.

One of the latest players to test positive is already on the reserve/COVID-19 list and had been in isolation after being identified as a high-risk close contact to another individual that had tested positive outside the building, according to a league source.

The Browns also closed their facility Wednesday after a coach and practice squad player tested positive for the coronavirus. Cleveland reopened its building in the afternoon and practiced for about an hour.
