As each day passed the Browns continued to place players on the reserve/COVID-19 list, putting. the competitive integrity os Saturday’s game beyond question. There was no way that a team fielding just a few of their normal starters due to a COVID outbreak in a game that could determine their playoff chances would be considered a fair contest.

While the postponed game could result in more players being placed on the list, there is a chance that others previously placed on it could return giving the Browns a better competitive chance on Monday.
