The Browns need to win in Week 17 to get into the postseason after failing to clinch with a , and they might get their much-needed reinforcements back in time.Browns coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters Monday none of the players placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list as close contacts have tested positive, and they will have a chance to return Thursday for against Pittsburgh -- if they continue to test negative.Cleveland lost its top four receivers, plus two linebackers, to that became apparent Saturday, with one positive test Bobby Wagner Jersey forcing a half-dozen key Browns out of Sunday's game against New York. The Browns attempted to get their patchwork offense on the same page in a parking garage on the morning of the game, then rolled out an offense that featured practice squad receiver and recent addition , and relied heavily on Cleveland's Ed Dickson Jersey tight ends and running backs in the pa sing game. Only two receivers -- Bradley and Hall -- played more than three total snaps in Sunday's game.The Browns' offense was unsurprisingly bad for much of the afternoon, especially with throwing the ball 53 times while trying to lift Cleveland from a 20-3 hole. The Browns finished with 299 yards of offense, went 6-for-15 on third down and ran for just 45 yards. Cleveland's two turnovers ultimately did them in as well, and a third (a fumble that resulted in a turnover on downs) ended their late comeback hopes.It's fair to wonder how the Browns might have fared if they' Barkevious Mingo Jersey d had even two of the four mi sing receivers available. , , and were all forced to watch from home while Mayfield ignored their replacements early before eventually establishing a very preliminary familiarity with Bradley (five catches, 60 yards).What's not fair is to claim victim because of failures to follow the COVID-19 protocol. Stefanski refused to make excuses for his team's incredibly untimely lo s to the Jets (2-13)."This team has been resilient, and that's going to be required moving forward. That's what it takes this season," Stefanski said, adding "we really have to own this one Will Dissly Jersey from yesterday" before moving on to Week 17.The Browns might get a boost up front, which they sorely needed Sunday. Stefanski told reporters he's hopeful guard will be back on the practice field Wednesday. Teller has mi sed the last two games with an Nazair Jones Jersey ankle injury.Should Cleveland meet another hurdle in the form of players made unavailable due to injury or COVID-19-related concerns, Stefanski said he'll have contingency plans available. For the Browns' sake, at least they'll be a little better prepared for Plan B (or Z) in a pivotal situation. The hope, though, is they won't have to divert from Plan A.
