The safety has been activated by the Cleveland Browns from the reserve/COVID-19 list prior Monday’s game.
The third and final player has been activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list by the Cleveland Browns, John Johnson. Johnson joins Wyatt Teller and Takk McKinley as the only three players to return after testing positive last week.

Getting John Johnson back for the Browns defense is huge as the team is currently lacking talent on that side of the ball due to the COVID outbreak.

Johnson is one of only two starting defensive backs that will play Monday, Denzel Ward being the other. Having just a bit more continuity, even if it is just one player, could made a difference in a must-win game.
