David Njoku questionable but says he’s ‘good to go’ vs. Bills

Missing the past two games with a high ankle sprain, David Njoku is set to return for the Browns vs. Bills.

While he is listed as questionable, breakout tight end David Njoku has stated he is “good to go” as the Cleveland Browns get set to take on the Buffalo Bills in Detroit this Sunday. Njoku returned to practice on Thursday, looked good getting in and out of breaks on his routes, and now feels confident he will suit up against the Bills.

This news comes as the Browns lose cornerback Greg Newsome to a concussion, so injuries taketh and injuries give. Luckily for the Browns, the Bills will also be without three defensive starters.

As the Browns look to steal one from the Bills, getting their tight end who was on pace for 1,000 yards back is a massive boost.

David Njoku returns to practice after missing 2 games

After missing the last two games for the Browns, tight end David Njoku has returned to practice with the Bills up next.

After missing the last two games against the Cincinnati Bengals and Miami Dolphins, the Cleveland Browns saw the return of tight end David Njoku to practice today. Resting his ankle for three weeks now including the bye, getting their breakout tight end back on the field in time for the snowy affair against Buffalo Bills would be a massive deal.

Njoku was on pace for 1,000 yards receiving before spraining his ankle against the Baltimore Ravens. Getting one of the bigger mismatch nightmares around the league back (and one of the better blocking tight ends) will also allow linebackers and safeties to think for an extra second. This should help jumpstart the run game after struggling against the Dolphins as well.

This is just a practice, but Njoku seems to be trending toward playing against the Bills.

Browns still unsure on David Njoku: ‘We’ll see today what he looks like’

The status for Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins is still uncertain for tight end David Njoku: ‘I know he’s hopeful.’

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku exited late in the loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He was at first listed as week-to-week, then quickly reevaluated to day-to-day. Njoku sat out in the win against the Cincinnati Bengals before entering the bye week. The Browns, however, are still unsure about his status for Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins, but he will test out his ankle today.

Speaking to the media, tight ends coach TC McCartney stated, “We’ll see today what he looks like. I know he’s hopeful… The next few hours, we want to see.”

Browns TE David Njoku out 2-5 weeks with high ankle sprain

The breakout campaign of Browns tight end David Njoku has been put on hold as he will be sidelined for 2-5 weeks.

The breakout campaign of tight end David Njoku will have to be put on hold as he will be sidelined for the next 2-to-5 weeks with a high ankle sprain. The second-leading receiver for the Cleveland Browns, Njoku has been a consistent force for the team after inking a massive extension this past offseason.

Leaving the game against the Baltimore Ravens, Njoku was seen leaving on crutches and in a boot. All things considered, this is good news for both the Browns and Njoku. Njoku is currently on pace for 82 catches and over 1,000 yards receiving for the Browns this season. That 17-game pace will now be slowed up significantly as Njoku has been playing at a legitimate All-Pro level in 2022.
