    Browns' David Njoku: Placed on IR

    David Njoku (knee) has been placed on IR by the Cleveland 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.

    Browns' David Njoku: Misses practice Wednesday

    David 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 Cleveland 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

    David 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 Cleveland 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.

    Browns' David Njoku: Won't suit up against Dolphins

    David Njoku (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.Njoku failed to practice throughout the week after sustaining a knee injury during Cleveland's 24-6 loss to the Bengals in Week 16. Jordan Akins will fill in atop the tight end depth chart in what will be Njoku's fifth absence of the season. Njoku will have a chance to return against the Ravens in Week 18, but the Cleveland Browns have little incentive to rush his return since the team has long been eliminated from postseason contention.

    David Njoku (knee) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Ashley Bastock of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.Njoku was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, with the tight end's absence from Thursday's session putting the focus on what, if anything, he's able to do Friday. If Njoku is limited or out versus the Dolphins on Sunday, Jordan Akins would be in line to see an expanded role in Cleveland's Week 17 offense.

    Browns' David Njoku: Undergoing MRI on knee

    Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that David Njoku will have an MRI to diagnose the severity of a knee injury he sustained during Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Bengals, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.Stefanski declined to rule out Njoku for the Browns' upcoming home game against the Dolphins in Week 17, but if he's dealing with anything resembling a significant knee injury, the team could opt to take a cautious approach to his recovery. With a 3-12 record at the bottom of the AFC North, Cleveland's playoff hopes have long ended, and it's unclear whether Dorian Thompson-Robinson (calf) or Jameis Winston (shoulder) will be available this coming Sunday. Jordan Akins will figure to start at tight end if Njoku misses any further time.
