• Browns' David Njoku: Placed on IR

  01/03/2025 • By RotoWire

  Njoku (knee) has been placed on IR by the Browns. Njoku already was ruled out for the Browns' season finale, so the tight end now will focus on moving past the knee injury that also sidelined him Week 17. When he was available, Njoku was a viable fantasy option in 2024, having recorded a 64-505-5 line on 97 targets through 11 games played. The 28-year-old is under contract with Cleveland in 2025 and thus is slated to reprise his starting role for the team next season.

Njoku -- who remains under contract with Cleveland in 2025 -- finishes his eighth NFL season with 64 catches for 505 yards and five touchdowns on 97 targets over 11 games.

• Browns' David Njoku: Still not practicing

  01/02/2025 • By RotoWire

  Njoku (knee) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports. After being estimated as a non-participant in Tuesday's walkthrough, Njoku's absence from practice both Wednesday and Thursday clouds his status for Saturday's season finale against the Ravens. If the tight end is sidelined this weekend, Jordan Akins would be in line to see an expanded role in Week 18.

• Browns' David Njoku: Misses practice Wednesday

  Njoku (knee) isn't practicing Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Njoku was estimated as a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice. After another absence Wednesday, he'll have just one more opportunity to practice this week before the Browns decide whether he'll be available for Saturday's game against the Ravens. If Njoku remains sidelined this weekend, Jordan Akins would likely serve as the Browns' top option at tight end.

• Browns' David Njoku: Fails to practice Tuesday

  12/31/2024 • By RotoWire

  Njoku (knee) was listed as a non-participant for Tuesday's walk-through practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Njoku sat out the Browns' Week 17 loss to the Dolphins with the knee injury, and his absence from practice to begin Week 18 prep doesn't inspire much early confidence in his chances of suiting up in Saturday's season finale versus the Ravens. Even if Njoku gets the green light to play Saturday, his snap count could be monitored carefully, and his fantasy prospects will likely be further hindered by the Browns using either or both of Dorian Thompson-Robinson (calf) and Bailey Zappe at quarterback.
