ESPN's Adam Schefter that a group of Cleveland receivers had been deemed " Alexander Alexeyev Jersey high-risk-close-contacts." Later Saturday afternoon, Landry, along with Rashard Higgins, Donovan Peoples-Jones and KhaDarel Hodge, were all placed on the COVID-19 reserve list. Linebacker Jacob Phillip was also placed on the list.
In response to losing five players, the Browns activated receivers JaMarcus Bradley and Derrick Willies and linebacker Montrel Meander from the practice squad.

Landry clearly wasn't happy with the events, describing his emotions in just one word Alex Ovechkin Jersey on Twitter: "ANNOYED." He hadnever mi sed a game in his seven-year career, playing in 110 out of 110 games.
ANNOYED
Jarvis Juice Landry (@God Jonas Siegenthaler Jersey _Son80)Landry is the team's leading receiver, with 67 catches for 789 yards and three touchdowns. Higgins has been a solid No. 2 option for Baker Mayfield, hauling in Devante Smith-Pelly Jersey 35 catches for 544 yards and four touchdowns. Peoples-Jones has 13 catches for 174 yards and two scores this season. Hodge has nine catches for 155 yards.
This isn't the first time a team has lost multiple members of the same Braden Holtby Jersey position group due to COVID-19: The Broncos had to play with practice squad wide receiver Kendall Hinton at quarterback in Week 12, and the Ravens played without both of their top two running backs in an important AFC North contest against the Steelers. The Lions even played without T.J. Oshie Jersey interim head coach Darrell Bevell and several a sistants in Saturday's embarra sing 47-7 lo s to the Buccaneers.
If there's a saving grace for the Browns (10-4), it's that they're facing arguably Nic Dowd Jersey the worst team in the NFL. But the Jets (1-13) are coming off their first win of the season, a 23-20 victory over a solid Rams team Jakub Vrana Jersey , so nothing is guaranteed. Cleveland is still in the hunt for the AFC North title, just a game behind the Steelers.
