With a staggering 20 players sidelined due to contracting COVID-19, including starting quarterback Baker Mayfield, the Cleveland Browns underscore the problems that the NFL is having with containing the virus. They are set to face the Las Vegas Raiders on a nationally televised game on Saturday without a huge chunk of their team.

Mayfield took a shot at the league for its testing protocols. He is not the only Cleveland player upset with how the league is handling the situation. According to Josina Anderson of CBS Sports, the Browns were caught extremely off-guard by the league's testing and are confounded by the decision to still play the game.

Mayfield and his backup, Case Keenum, are among the players Cleveland will be without. Head coach Kevin Stefanski will be out, too, as well as Kareem Hunt, Jarvis Landry, Austin Hooper, Jedrick Wills, Ronnie Harrison and more.

With Nick Mullens elevate from the practice squad set to start under center, the Browns will face the Raiders with practically a new team. For a team to be slated for a nationally televised game and then have a huge chunk of their team sidelined two days before kickoff is an embarrassing situation for the league.

Postponing the game is the sensible option if player safety is the main priority. But as Mayfield pointed out, the league is mostly interested in making money and rescheduling the game may be costly. Cleveland has no choice but to take the bad news in stride, as tight end David Njoku seems to be doing.

The Browns and Raiders are scheduled to kick off at 4:30 p.m. EST in Cleveland.
