Sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter that Demetric Felton and Nick Chubb, Cleveland Browns running backs, tested positive for COVID-19.
Both players have been vaccinated. This means that they are eligible to play against the New England Patriots on Sunday. To play, each player will need to take two negative tests within 24 hours.
John Kelly, another Browns running back, was placed on Monday's reserve/COVID-19 roster.
A source said that Kareem Hunt (calf), who is currently on injured reserve, means Cleveland has only one running back at the moment: D'Ernest Johnson. Johnson is also vaccinated.
Chubb, a twice-pro Bowl selection, ran for 137 yards with two touchdowns in Sunday's 41-16 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He leads the team with 721 yards rushing and six touchdowns this season.
Johnson ran in Week 7, against the Denver Broncos, when Chubb was injured and Hunt was sidelined. In Cleveland's 17-14 win, Johnson rushed for 146 yards with a touchdown.
