UPDATE: Steelers tight end Eric Ebron and linebacker Cassius Marsh have both been added to the Reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of Sunday’s game against the Browns.
Wide reciever Deon Cain and offense tackle Anthony Coyle have also been elevated to the active roster.
Cam Heyward, Maurkice Pouncey, TJ Watt, Chris Boswell, Terrell Edmunds and Ben Roethlisberger will not be traveling to Cleveland for Sunday's game (as was expected)

Steelers cornerback Joe Haden has been flagged for a COVID-19 situation and won’t play Sunday against the Browns in Cleveland.
Per ESPN’s Dan Graziano, Haden tested positive for COVID-19, meaning he is mandated to isolate for the next 10 days, even if he tests negative. That means Haden will not be available to play in the opening round of the playoffs for the Steelers next weekend.
If Haden’s exposure had been a close contact, he would be required to be out at least five days -- as long as he continues to test negative.
With Haden out, the Steelers likely will turn to Cameron Sutton and Justin Layne to man his spot against the Browns and next weekend against a yet-to-be-determined opponent.
