CLEVELAND – The Cleveland Browns will try to earn a playoff spot without starting linebacker B.J. Goodson, who will miss Sunday's game against the New York Jets after testing positive for COVID-19.Cleveland can potentially lock up its first postseason berth since 2002 with a win, but Goodson is on the COVID-19 list and and his playing status for the season finale on Jan.
3 against Pittsburgh is also in question.Per current NFL rules, any player testing positive has to stay out at least 10 days before being eligible to return.
Of course, that also depends on the player’s health.The Browns (10-4) did get some good news as starting rookie left tackle Jedrick Wills was activated Saturday from the COVID-19 list after being placed there Thursday.
