The Cleveland Browns were dealt a heavy blow this past Sunday in their loss to the Baltimore Ravens as tight end David Njoku went down with a high ankle sprain. Their second-leading receiver on the season was ruled out for 2-to-5 weeks earlier this week. Njoku, however, seems to think he may return to the field sooner rather than later.
Njoku was asked about a potential timeline on his return, and while he did not give an exact date, he remained optimistic about a quick turnaround from his ankle injury:
“We’ll see, it’s feeling better every day, so hopefully we can keep progressing.”

It remains highly unlikely he plays Monday night against the Cincinnati Bengals, but the Browns get a good bit of luck to head into their bye week after this game. This gives Njoku essentially a third week to heal up. There could be a real chance he returns to the field against the Miami Dolphins after the bye week.
