Njoku (knee/thigh) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
A fixture on the injury report this season, Njoku hasn't actually come close to missing a game. After landing between four and six targets each of the past four games, he draws a Week 16 matchup with a soft Bengals defense that has allowed tight ends to catch 73 of 97 passes for 839 yards (8.6 yards per target) and eight touchdowns. An upgrade to full practice participation Thursday and/or Friday would answer any questions about Njoku's status.
