Players will remain on the COVID-19 list until they can provide three negative tests for the virus.
Jake Trotter of ESPN notes that Cleveland is hopeful that Joseph and Bryant will be available for Week 17’s game against the Steelers.
Joseph, 27, is a former first-round pick of the Raiders back in 2016. He finished his four-year, $11.88 million contract and was testing the open market as an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his career when he signed a one-year contract with the Browns this past April.
In 2020, Joseph has appeared in 13 games and recorded 60 total tackles, two tackles for loss, one interception, four pass defenses, and two fumble recoveries.
