The Cleveland Browns placed Chase McLaughlin on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday and promoted fellow kicker Chris Naggar from the practice squad.

Naggar is expected to make his NFL debut for the Browns (7-7) on Saturday against the host Green Bay Packers (11-3).

McLaughlin, who tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday, has missed 4 of 6 field-goal attempts over his last four games. The 25-year-old has made 15 of 21 field-goal tries and 31 of 32 extra-point attempts in 14 games this season.

Naggar, 24, played collegiately at Texas and SMU before signing with the New York Jets in the offseason. He was waived in August.
