The Facts: The Browns are in the playoffs for the first time since 2002, but their head coach won’t be there with them. Kevin Stefanski tested positive for COVID-19, the team announced. That will require him to go into isolation and miss the Browns’ playoff game on Sunday in Pittsburgh.
Diehards Line:
Browns special teams coordinator Mike Priefer will serve as the acting head coach. Two coaches who tested positive today as well: Tight ends coach Drew Petzing and defensive backs coach Jeff Howard. Two players also tested positive: Pro Bowl left guard Joel Bitonio and receiver KhaDarel Hodge. The team facility is closed today. The Browns-Steelers game is still on as scheduled.
