Kevin Stefanski: Cleveland Browns head coach tests positive for Covid-19

CNN  

CNN — Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski has tested positive for Covid-19 and is set to miss Saturday’s game versus the Las Vegas Raiders in Cleveland, the Browns announced on Wednesday. “Head Coach Kevin Stefanski, who has been vaccinated and received a booster, has tested positive and has immediately self-isolated,” the Browns said in a statement. “He is feeling fine and will continue his head coaching duties virtually as we prepare for the Las Vegas Raiders game on Saturday.” Special teams coordinator Mike Priefer will serve as acting head coach and offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt will serve as the play caller in Saturday’s game. On Tuesday, the Browns added eight players to the Reserve/Covid-19 list, including wide receiver Jarvis Landry and offensive lineman Wyatt Teller and Jedrick Wills Jr. “We are in the intensive protocols, which means you are wearing masks in the building, virtual meetings, cafeteria is just grab and go and those type of things, but we will get our work in,” Stefanski told reporters Tuesday.
