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.

Hurts knee on TD catch Njoku injured his knee during Sunday's contest against the Titans, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Impact Per the report, Njoku sustained the injury on a one-yard touchdown catch with 14:24 remaining in the second quarter. Njoku then went directly to the locker room, and while he subsequently returned to the sideline, the tight end didn't immediately return to the game, per Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram. Look for added context once the Browns provide injury updates after Sunday's game, but it's worth noting that Njoku was managing a knee issue during practice this past week.

Back on the field Sunday Njoku (knee) returned to Sunday's game against the Titans, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact After getting his knee checked out, Njoku has returned to Sunday's contest, thus bolstering a Cleveland TE corps that also includes Harold Fannin and Blake Whiteheart.

Hurts knee Sunday Njoku exited Sunday's game against the Titans with a knee injury.

David Njoku injury update: Latest news on Browns TE's status in Week 14 game | Sporting News Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku is dealing with an injury in the second quarter of the Week 14 game against the Tennessee Titans.

DECEMBER 7, 2025 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Clear for Week 14 Njoku (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Titans, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Njoku has often been listed with knee injuries on Browns practice reports he suffered a knee issue Week 16 of last season, but he's missed only one game (Week 7) of the current campaign. He's mostly been silent in five appearances since then, tallying a 9-69-2 line on 11 targets as opposed to rookie Harold Fannin's 19-215-2 line on 31 targets during that same span. Njoku thus will continue to play second fiddle to Fannin in Week 14.

Another limited practice Njoku (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Impact Njoku, who was limited Wednesday as well, was also limited last Wednesday and Thursday before practicing fully Friday and heading into Week 13 without an injury designation. Chances are, that cadence is repeated ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans.

Logs limited practice Wednesday Njoku (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Impact Njoku, who continues to manage a knee issue, was also limited this past Wednesday and Thursday before practicing fully Friday and approaching Week 13 action without an injury designation. A similar pattern could be on tap for the tight end ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans.

Two catches in Week 13 loss Njoku caught both of his targets for four yards in the Browns' 26-8 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Impact Njoku has taken a clear back seat to rookie TE Harold Fannin in recent weeks, and Fannin actually paced the Browns in targets (five), catches (three) and yards (43) against San Francisco, while securing a 34-yard touchdown from Shedeur Sanders. Njoku isn't much more than waiver-wire fodder outside of deep fantasy leagues.

DECEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play Week 13 Njoku (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the 49ers, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact Njoku logged a full practice Friday after limited reps earlier in the week. The 29-year-old tight end has an underwhelming 30-288-3 receiving line across 10 games this season. Njoku's 28.8 yards per game this season is his lowest mark since the 2020 campaign.

Remains limited Njoku (knee) was limited at Thursday's practice.

Impact Njoku opens the week of preparation for Sunday's tilt against San Francisco with to limited practices. It's the second consecutive week that the knee has limited the tight end, who was given a season-low 25 snaps in Week 12's win over the Raiders. It's unclear if last week's knee issue led to curtailed playing time, or if the Browns are developing Harold Fannin to become the club's lead TE.

NOVEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited at practice Wednesday Njoku (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Impact Njoku continues to manage a knee issue, but as long as he's able to practice fully by Friday he'll be on track to approach Sunday's game against the 49ers without an injury designation. With just one catch (on two targets) over his last two games, a span in which fellow TE Harold Fannin has combined for six catches on 11 targets, Njoku profiles as a hit-or-miss Week 13 fantasy lineup option.

NOVEMBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Season-low snap count Njoku went untargeted over 25 snaps in Sunday's 24-10 win over Las Vegas in Week 12.

Impact For the second straight game, Njoku was on the field for fewer snaps than rookie tight end Harold Fannin (46). The major difference being that Fannin was on the field for just four more snaps last week. That's a trend worth noticing for those invested in Njoku. The one other game that he was outplayed by this type of margin was when he suffered an injury in a Week 6 loss to Pittsburgh. Since the club's bye week, Njoku has just three receptions on four targets for 28 yards (one TD).

Cleared for Week 12 Njoku (knee) won't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Njoku didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday as he manages a knee issue, but the tight end's return to Friday's session paves the way for him to play against Las Vegas on Sunday. In the process, he'll remain a key target alongside fellow TE Harold Fannin, as well as WRs Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman, in a Week 12 offense that will be helmed by Shedeur Sanders, who will be making his first career regular-season start at QB, with Dillon Gabriel (concussion) out.

NOVEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back at practice Friday Njoku (knee) returned to practice Friday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Njoku didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, so the tight end's return to the field Friday is a positive sign ahead of Sunday's 4:05 p.m ET game against the Raiders. The Browns' upcoming injury report will note both Njoku's official participation level Friday, as well as his Week 12 game status.
