Jedrick Wills Jr. Placed On COVID-19 List
4 years agoThe Cleveland Browns placed rookie offensive tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday and also added wide receiver Ryan Switzer to the practice-squad COVID-19 list. Wills, the 10th overall pick out of Alabama, will be forced to sit out in Week 16 against the Jets on Sunday, even if he was just deemed a high-risk close contact of someone else who tested positive for the virus. The 21-year-old has been the team's starting left tackle in his rookie season, so his loss will be a negative for the protection of quarterback Baker Mayfield this weekend against the Jets. It probably won't make a huge difference against the one-win Jets. Mayfield should be considered a borderline QB1/2 for the fantastic matchup with New York.
