Njoku caught two of three targets for 28 yards in Thursday's preseason finale against the Bears.
Njoku's presence in the final preseason game supports the notion that he'll begin his rookie season with a limited role, after finishing the exhibition slate with four catches for 41 yards on eight targets in three games. It's unclear how the reps at tight end will be split up among Njoku, Randall Telfer and Seth DeValve in Week 1 against Pittsburgh.
