The Cleveland Browns head coach has tested positive for COVID-19.
Kevin Stefanski is the latest member of the Cleveland Browns organization to test positive for COVID-19. The Browns head coach has tested positive one day after eight players were placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
And the #Browns announce that HC Kevin Stefanski, who is both vaccinated and boostered, has tested positive too. If he doesn’t get two negative tests w/in 24 hours, then Saturday vs the #Raiders, ST coach Mike Priefer will serve as HC and OC Alex Van Pelt will call plays. https://t.co/jzlj3nfL8Y

If Kevin Stefanski is unable to produce two negative tests by Saturday, Mike Prefer will be acting head coach with Alex Van Pelt calling plays. This is not a foreign situation for the Browns as Stefanski was unable to be on the sidelines for their playoff victory over the Steelers last season.
Cleveland is currently under enhanced NFL protocols and daily testing is likely to produce more positive results before Saturday’s game against Las Vegas.
