Browns players who returned to practice: Nick Chubb, David Njoku, Nyheim Hines, Pierre Strong Jr., Michael Dunn

Related Players: Jordan Akins

Akins performed well enough during Njoku's absence but not enough to get him on to fantasy radars. If Njoku plays in Week 5, he should re-take his spot in the lower-end TE1 range.

Browns TE David Njoku is expected to practice this week, per HC Kevin Stefanskki said.

The post went on to say Njoku returned to practice last Thursday but sat out Friday before missing his third straight game. It looks like he's on track to play in Week 5, an early Sunday game at the Commanders.

Browns have been hit hard with injuries, and will be missing two offensive tackles in this game, as well. Akins has seen usage but the Cleveland passing attack is too anemic to consider him in any but very, very deep leagues.

Akins has been seeing a bigger workload this year but not enough for our purposes. Over 49 routes run he has accrued only 37 yards. He can safely be kept on waiver wires.

Kevin Stefanski is hopeful that Denzel Ward (shoulder) can play more than 11 snaps vs. Giants, TE David Njoku 'unlikely' to play.

Bad look for the Browns offense, that can't use anymore distractions right now. Akins shouldn't be in streaming consideration unless you're in a very deep league.

Browns injury updates: DL Mo Hurst (ankle), TE David Njoku (ankle), LB Tony Fields (ankle), LB Mohamoud Diabate (hip) are “week to week,” per HC Kevin Stefanski.

Njoku suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 1 against the Cowboys. Owners probably shouldn't count on Njoku for Week 2 given the "week-to-week" tag. Plus, high ankle sprains usually cost players time. We'll hopefully know more about the injury as the week goes on.

Browns TE David Njoku is believed to have suffered a high-ankle sprain during Sunday’s loss to the Cowboys.

Njoku will have an MRI to confirm the injury. Njoku suffered the injury during the third quarter Sunday while being tackled after a 29-yard catch. He left the stadium in a walking boot. The only other tight end currently on the active roster is Jordan Akins. At the very least, Njoku could be looking at being out for a few weeks. Check back Monday to see the results of the MRI and how long he’ll actually be out for.

Browns tight end David Njoku played on Sunday despite suffering burns on his face and arm in a household accident.

On a mostly ugly day for the Browns’ offense, Njoku led the team with six catches for 46 yards. And he demonstrated his toughness to his coaches and teammates, who undoubtedly were impressed that he was playing through pain for his team, the story went on to say. The Browns have a bye in Week 5.

Browns TE David Njoku is now questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens following a fire pit injury in his backyard.

Njoku was lighting a fire pit in his backyard and suffered burn injuries to his face and arm. The good news is that Njoku is ok, per his agent. We're very glad to hear a positive update on what could have been an unfortunate incident for Njoku. We'll see if he plays Sunday, but the important thing is he is ok physically.
