Chris Simms believes the Texans' offense will be able to move the ball on the Browns' defense, but Cleveland's ability to run the ball will give them the edge.

The Browns will practice on Friday after all.

The team closed their facility on Friday morning after being informed of a player testing positive for COVID-19. On Friday afternoon, they announced that offensive lineman Chris Hubbard has been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list and that they have reopened the facility.

In a statement, the Browns said that contact tracing found no high-risk close contacts of Hubbard who would have to be quarantined for the next five days. They also said that they will be holding practice at 3 p.m. ET.

The Browns are set to host the Texans on Sunday.

Hubbard started the last three games at right guard, but the Browns are expected to have Wyatt Teller back from a calf injury this weekend.
