The Las Vegas Raiders’ game against the Cleveland Browns has been postponed until Monday because of the COVID-19 outbreak within the Browns’ organization.
The Raiders and Browns will meet at 2 p.m. Monday, the NFL announced on Friday. The game was originally set for 1:30 p.m. PST Saturday.
The change caused some Raiders players to vent over the decision, as they were getting ready to leave the Henderson facility for the airport.
Many Browns starters, including quarterback Baker Mayfield, were placed on the COVID-19 list this week. Starting defensive end Jadeveon Clowney was placed on the COVID list Friday.
The Raiders last season dealt with their own COVID issue, though the league didn’t change the kickoff time of their game against Tampa Bay. The Raiders were without their starting offensive linemen and safety Johnathan Abram during the week because of COVID.
Denzelle Good, Rodney Hudson, Gabe Jackson and Kolton Miller were activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list the day before the game.
Only Abram missed the game against the Buccaneers, which the Raiders lost 45-20.
