The reserve/covid-19 list keeps growing as the Cleveland Browns prepare to play the Las Vegas Raiders on Saturday.
Baker Mayfield was one of five players added to the 53-man roster on Wednesday.
John Johnson III, Troy Hill, and Ifeadi Odenigbo were placed on the reserve list. The practice squad/COVID-19 list has a safety added to it.
Fourteen players have been put on the reserve/COVID-19 list in the last two days, according to Adam Schefter.
The head coach and running backs coach tested positive for carbon dioxide, which could mean 14 players are missing.
According to the announcement by the team, Stefanski received a booster shot. If he can produce two negative tests in 24 hours, he will be able to coach on Saturday.
Mike Priefer will serve as Cleveland's acting head coach against the Raiders if Stefanski isn't available.
Eight players were added to the reserve/COVID-19, including wide receiver, offensive guard, tight end, left tackle, defensive end, punt returner, backup guard, and reserve tight end.
The Atlanta Falcons, Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings, Chicago Bears and Washington have all entered the league's enhanced protocols, according to Dan Graziano.
The Los Angeles Rams and the Cleveland Indians have also been added to the enhanced-protocol group.
The enhanced COVID protocols include daily testing regardless of vaccination status, mandatory masking at team facilities and other stringent measures.
If a player remains free of symptoms, they will be able to return with two negative COVID tests in a 24 hour period.
Unvaccinated players can return with a negative test if they are not showing any symptoms.
The Raiders will be playing the Browns at FirstEnergy Stadium on Saturday. The time is later.
