David Njoku

David Njoku (knee) was estimated as a non-participant in practice on Wednesday.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters on Monday that Njoku is now dealing with a knee issue. He returned from a hamstring injury last week but played limited snaps. With the Browns out of the playoff hunt, it doesn’t make much sense for Njoku to play through the latest injury. Jordan Akins could make another spot-start on Sunday, though the veteran blocking tight end is not on the fantasy menu, even as the Browns’ top option.
