Joel Bitonio Out For Wild-Card Game
4 years agoCleveland Browns left guard Joel Bitonio, who is a three-time Pro Bowler that has spent his entire seven-year career with the Browns, tested positive for COVID-19 and will not play in the wild-card game against the Steelers on Sunday night. Bitonio has played for five different head coaches and has endured six losing seasons, including 1-15 and 0-16 campaigns, in his time in Cleveland. It's a brutal situation for a long-time Browns player, as he will not be able to play in the club's first postseason game since 2002. And with head coach Kevin Stefanski, two other coaches and a wide receiver also testing positive for COVID-19, it's more bad news for a Browns offense trying to beat the division-rival Steelers for the second consecutive week.
