Njoku (knee) wasn't spotted at practice Friday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Njoku -- who also logged 'DNP' listings Wednesday and Thursday -- thus appears to be trending toward being sidelined Sunday against the Steelers. If that ends up being the case, Harold Fannin would continue to lead the Browns' TE corps Week 17, with Blake Whiteheart and Brenden Bates (ankle) also in the mix.
