Browns' David Njoku: Still not practicing
Njoku (hamstring) didn't participate in the open portion of Thursday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Njoku missed Wednesday's practice, so what the tight end is able to do, if anything, during Friday's session will be telling with regard to his chances of returning to action Sunday against the Bengals. If Njoku remains sidelined this weekend, Jordan Akins would be in line to continue to have an expanded role in the Browns passing game.

Browns' David Njoku: Still not practicing
Njoku (hamstring) is not in line to practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
On Monday, head coach Kevin Stefanski noted that he was hopeful that Njoku -- who was inactive for the Week 15 loss to the Chiefs -- could return to action Sunday against the Bengals. However, with the tight end set to miss his fourth consecutive practice Wednesday, he'll be left with two more chances to log some on-field work before the Browns post their Week 16 game designations. If Njoku is forced to miss a second straight game, Jordan Akins would once again have an expanded role in Cleveland's passing game.

Browns' David Njoku: Optimism for Week 16
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that he's "hopeful" Njoku (hamstring) will be able to suit up for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Stefanski offered similar availability for Cedric Tillman (concussion), as both he and Njoku were sidelined for Cleveland's 21-7 loss to the Chiefs in Week 15. After Jameis Winston was benched in favor of Dorian Thompson-Robinson versus Kansas City, however, it remains to be seen who will be under center on the road against the Bengals, even if Njoku manages to retake the field. Wednesday's first official practice report will reveal more details regarding the standout tight end's health.

Browns' David Njoku: Inactive Sunday
Njoku (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Njoku, who sustained a hamstring injury during Week 14 action, didn't practice Wednesday through Friday this past week before being listed as questionable for the contest. After testing things out during warmups, the tight end will sit this one out and target a potential return to action next Sunday against the Bengals. In his absence, Jordan Akins and Blake Whiteheart will handle Cleveland's tight-end duties versus Kansas City, with Akins profiling as a potential Week 15 lineup option for those in deep formats in need of a fill-in for Njoku.

Browns' David Njoku: Looks like game-time call Sunday
Njoku remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, but his status won't be determined until after he tests out his hamstring in a pregame workout, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Njoku didn't practice at all this week due to a hamstring issue, and while that lack of activity is normally a sign that a player won't be available on game day, the Browns are still giving him a chance to prove that he's healthy enough to suit up. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect an official word on the veteran tight end's status until the Browns release their inactive list about 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. If Njoku doesn't suit up, Jordan Akins would likely serve as the Browns' top tight end.

Browns' David Njoku: Hopes to play Sunday
Njoku, who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, said Friday that he's dealing with tightness in his hamstring but hopes to play this weekend, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
After coach Kevin Stefanski deemed Njoku day-to-day due to a hamstring injury Wednesday, the tight end proceeded to sit out all three Week 15 practices. The Browns are keeping the door open for Njoku to suit up this weekend, and he even noted Friday that the team will have a better idea of his status Sunday morning, implying his availability will be tied to a pregame workout. Ultimately, Cleveland will reveal whether or not Njoku will be able to play about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Browns' David Njoku: Questionable to face Kansas City
Njoku (hamstring) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com and Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram report.
Njoku didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday and also wasn't spotted at Friday's session, per Oyefusi, but the tight end evidently has a chance to suit up Sunday. Look for added context regarding his Week 15 status to arrive prior to the Browns' 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but heading into the weekend, Jordan Akins and Blake Whiteheart are the team's top healthy and available TE options.

Browns' David Njoku: Still not practicing
Njoku (hamstring) remained sidelined at practice Friday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Njoku also missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, and the tight end's continued absence Friday doesn't bode well for his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Chiefs. If Njoku is ruled out for the contest, Jordan Akins and Blake Whiteheart would be in line to see added Week 15 snaps, with Tre' McKitty and Cameron Latu representing potential practice-squad elevations.

Browns' David Njoku: Another missed practice
Njoku (hamstring) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Back-to-back absences from practice cloud Njoku's status for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, with offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey noting Thursday that if the Browns' top tight end is unavailable this weekend, the team would employ a committee approach at the position, per Cabot. In that scenario, Jordan Akins and Blake Whiteheart would see added Week 15 opportunities, with Tre' McKitty and Cameron Latu being potential practice-squad elevations.

Browns' David Njoku: Day-to-day with hamstring injury
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that Njoku won't practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury and is considered day-to-day, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Njoku will have two more opportunities to log some practice activity ahead of Sunday's matchup against Kansas City. The tight end has scored three touchdowns in his last two appearances, with a total of 16 catches for 94 yards (on 30 targets) in those contests. If he were to miss any time due to the hamstring injury, Jordan Akins would likely start at tight end for the Browns.

Browns' David Njoku: Scores again
Njoku recorded seven receptions on 13 targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the Steelers.
Njoku led the Browns in targets and receptions, though he was held to short yardage for much of the game. He broke that trend with a leaping 15-yard touchdown grab midway through the fourth quarter, and he now has three touchdowns across his last two games. Njoku has also emerged as a clear favorite target of Jameis Winston, combining to command 30 targets in that same two-contest span while seeing at least nine opportunities in three of his last four contests.

Browns' David Njoku: Pair of TDs in loss
Njoku brought in nine of 17 targets for 52 yards and two touchdowns in the Browns' 41-32 loss to the Broncos on Monday night.
Njoku recorded his first touchdown since Jameis Winston's first game as a starter in Week 8 when he brought in an eight-yard grab late in the first quarter to erase an early 7-0 deficit and added a four-yard touchdown reception to cap off an 11-play, 70-yard march late in the first half. Njoku also was the target on Winston's third and final interception of the night with 44 seconds remaining, and he led the Browns in targets with a career-high figure. The veteran tight end will look to build on his second nine-catch effort of the last three games when Cleveland faces the Steelers on the road Week 14.
