Browns TE depth chart: How Cleveland TEs stack up amid David Njoku, Harold Fannin Jr. injuries | Sporting News The Browns are down a few tight ends for Week 17.

4 DAYS AGO • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Won't return Week 17 Njoku (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Pittsburgh, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Njoku is going to miss his third straight game due to a lingering knee injury. The veteran tight end didn't practice at all this week, so he may be facing a challenge to return in time for Cleveland's season finale next Sunday against Cincinnati. Browns No. 1 tight end Harold Fannin is questionable to play this Sunday due to a groin issue, and if he can't suit up, it would likely fall on Blake Whiteheart and possibly Brenden Bates (ankle) to lead the team's tight-end corps.

Still not practicing Njoku (knee) wasn't spotted at practice Friday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Njoku -- who also logged 'DNP' listings Wednesday and Thursday -- thus appears to trending toward being sidelined Sunday against the Steelers. If that ends up being the case, Harold Fanninwould continue to lead the Browns' TE corps in Week 17, with Blake Whiteheart and Brenden Bates (ankle) also in the mix.

Estimated as non-participant Njoku (knee) is listed as a non-participant on Thursday's estimated practice report, eaasdga reports.

Impact Njoku did not practice Wednesday and hasn't suited up for either of Cleveland's last two contests, and he appears to be trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's matchup against the Steelers as well. The veteran tight end's last chance to take the practice field in some capacity Week 17 will arrive Friday.

Not practicing to begin Week 17 Njoku (knee) isn't in line to practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Njoku hasn't played in either of the Browns' last two games while managing the knee injury, and his continued absence from practice to kick off Week 17 prep doesn't bode well for his chances of playing Sunday against the Steelers. The Browns will see if Njoku is able to do anything on the field Thursday and Friday before deciding on his status for the weekend. If Njoku ends up missing another game, rookie Harold Fannin would continue to be locked into a high-volume role at tight end, and more snaps would be available for blocking specialists Blake Whiteheart and Brenden Bates.

Won't play against the Bills Njoku (knee) won't play Sunday against the Bills, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Njoku, who didn't practice this week, is thus slated to miss his second straight contest, with his next chance to see game action set to arrive Dec. 28 against the Steelers. In his continued absence, fellow TE Harold Fannin -- who logged seven catches on a team-high 14 targets for 48 yards in Week 15 -- figures to remain busy versus Buffalo, with Blake Whiteheart and Brenden Bates (ankle) candidates to mix in.

Still not practicing Njoku (knee) wasn't spotted at practice Friday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact With Njoku poised to log three consecutive 'DNPs' this week, the tight end appears to be trending toward being sidelined Sunday against the Bills. Njoku's absence in the Browns' 31-3 loss to the Bears in Week 15 helped pave the way for fellow TE Harold Fannin to record seven catches on a team-high 14 targets for 48 yards.

Misses another practice Njoku (knee) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact Njoku didn't practice Wednesday, which gives the tight end one more chance to get some work in before the Browns' Week 16 injury designations are posted Friday. If Njoku -- who was inactive last weekend -- remains sidelined Sunday versus the Bills, Harold Fannin would be in line to lead Cleveland's TE corps this weekend, with Brenden Bates (ankle) and Blake Whiteheart also in the mix.

DECEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Won't practice Wednesday Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Njoku (knee) is not in line to practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact Njoku wasn't able to practice prior to being ruled out for Cleveland's loss to the Bears in Week 15, but Stefanski indicated he and the rest of the Browns' injured players are "trending in the right direction" for Sunday's contest against Buffalo, per Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal. If Njoku manages to gain clearance in time to return to action Week 16, he'll resume operating as the No. 2 tight end behind rookie Harold Fannin.

DECEMBER 12 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Won't play Sunday Njoku (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Njoku didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, and it's been confirmed that he'll sit out Sunday's contest and eye a potential return to action Dec. 21 against the Bills. In his absence this weekend, fellow TE Harold Fannin figures to be busy versus Chicago, with Blake Whiteheart available to mix in.

DECEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Still not practicing Njoku (knee) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Njoku also managed a knee injury ahead of Week 14 action, but now that the tight end is set to log back-to-back 'DNPs' this time around, what he does (if anything) at practice Friday will loom large in terms of his status for Sunday's game against the Bears. If Njoku is out or limited this weekend, Blake Whiteheart would be in line to see added TE snaps behind Harold Fannin.

Not practicing Wednesday Njoku (knee) is not in line to practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Njoku suffered a knee injury during Cleveland's loss to the Titans in Week 14, on the play that saw him secure his only target for a one-yard touchdown catch. Now, his status appears up-in-the-air for Sunday's game against the Bears. Rookie Harold Fannin will benefit from increased opportunities as the Browns' starting tight end if Njoku misses any time.

Impact Njoku hurt the knee while making a diving catch for a touchdown on the second play of the second quarter. The tight end battled a sore knee the last three weeks, and it looks like that streak will extend at least one more week. Harold Fannin, who also caught a touchdown Sunday, will be the main beneficiary if Njoku is forced to miss any games.
