2. They’re back

The four Browns wide receivers who were ruled out because of COVID contract tracing can return for Sunday’s regular-season finale.

Ja’Marcus Bradley played admirably in the second half last week, having Jarvis Landry on the field is something the Browns couldn’t replicate in their disaster of a loss to the Jets.

Additionally, don’t discount what Donovan Peoples-Jones brings to the team in terms of speed and giving the Browns a vertical threat. He may not be Odell Beckham, but with DPJ, the Browns can at least show the treat of going down field.

In addition to the receivers coming back, the Browns should also be able to plug Jedrick Wills back in at left tackle. Right guard Wyatt Teller should also play after missing two weeks with an ankle injury.

The defensive backfield should also be bolstered by Ronnie Harrison, who was taken off IR just days before the Browns played the Jets. Look for the safety to play Sunday.
