Coach John Harbaugh clarified Wednesday that Brown hasn't tested positive for COVID-19 and has instead been identified as a close contact of an infected person, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Along with Brown, fellow wideouts Miles Boykin and James Proche were all placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list through contact tracing. The report adds that while the trio of receivers won't be able to practice this week, they could all be available for Sunday's game against the Jaguars if they continue to test negative in the coming days.
