Njoku (ankle) won't practice Thursday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Jake Trotter of ESPN.com previously reported that Njoku is expected to be sidelined for 2-to-5 weeks due to a high-ankle sprain, with coach Kevin Stefanski on Monday having described the tight end's status as week-to-week. For his part, Njoku hasn't completely ruled himself out for Monday night's game against the Bengals, per Cabot, but it would take a surprising turn of events for him to suit up for the contest, especially with Cleveland on bye Week 9.
