There was some hope David Njoku could return to the Browns’ active roster in Week 12. The team designated Njoku for return from injured reserve this week, and the tight end was active in practices toward the end of the week.
However, Njoku will not be activated for the Week 12 visit from the Miami Dolphins. The Browns decided Njoku just wasn’t game-ready yet. He has been out since breaking his wrist and suffering a concussion in the Week 2 win over the New York Jets.
“I think we want to see David another week and see what we get at the end of next week,” head coach Freddie Kitchens said on Friday.
The team has two more weeks to decide to fully activate Njoku or keep him on injured reserve.
