Cleveland Browns will be without four wide receivers and linebacker Jacob Phillips for Sunday’s game against the New York Jets, the team announced Saturday.
Jarvis Landry, Rashard Higgins, Donovan Peoples-Jones, KhaDarel Hodge and Phillips were all placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list after a Browns player tested positive for the virus.
The Browns delayed their flight to New Jersey and shut down their facility after the positive test but are now set to depart at 7 p.m. ET.
Starting linebacker B.J. Goodson was also placed on the COVID-19/reserve list on Saturday.
The Browns elevated wide receivers Ja’Marcus Bradley and Derrick Willies and linebacker Montrel Meander from the practice squad.
Starting left tackle Jedrick Wills Jr., who was placed on the list earlier this week after coming into contact with an individual outside the organization who tested positive, was activated off the list on Saturday.
The Browns could clinch their first playoff berth in 18 years on Sunday with a victory, and losses by either Miami, Baltimore or Indianapolis.
