The Browns activated TE David Njoku from injured reserve Saturday.

It took some time for Njoku to finally be activated but he is now likely to play Sunday for the first time since Week 2. He’ll be in the lineup but may not be a huge factor as he eases back into game action. Likely not ideal to put all your eggs in this basket as you try to advance in the playoffs.

Browns Freddie Kitchens said it's too early to say if TE David Njoku will be activated this week to face Steelers.

Kitchens said the current TEs have been doing a good job. Njoku did practice last week but even if he returns this week there will be some questions about how much he plays. It may be risky this time of year to trust him as we head into the fantasy playoffs.

Browns TE David Njoku (wrist) was activated from injured reserve Wednesday and will be back at practice.

Head coach Freddie Kitchens said Njoku is "ready for full contact". The Browns' offense has been out of sync at times so hopefully the return of Njoku can get the team and quarterback Baker Mayfield back on track. Njoku is worth a check especially for those of you who will be without Travis Kelce and Hunter Henry this week. Keep an eye on how he practices but he the early word is sounding good about his condition and availability.

Browns David Njoku (wrist) is day-to-day.

The tweet went on say Njoku could possibly practice Wednesday. HC Freddie Kitchens said: "We've got to get him on the football field and see where he's at."

David Njoku has elected not to have surgery on his broken wrist, a league source told cleveland.com.

Njoku broke the wrist against the Jets when cornerback Nate Hairston upended him in the first quarter on a high pass from Baker Mayfield. He also suffered a concussion on the play.

Njoku was placed on injured reserve last week and must miss a minimum of eight games. But not having surgery increases his chance of returning this season. With Njoku out, Harris caught a two-yard TD pass that put the Browns up 13-10 in the third quarter.

The Browns have placed TE David Njoku on injured reserve with a broken wrist.

Njoku was already expected to miss at least a month and the Browns have their bye in Week 8. The Browns have decided to place Njoku on injured reserve, meaning he will now miss at least eight weeks. Demetrius Harris is currently the starter for the Browns so expect the Browns to make a move to upgrade the position.

Besides suffering a concussion, David Njoku also broke his wrist on the same play in Week 2. His timeline for return is still up in the air.

David Njoku's broken wrist should keep him out for at least a month, but they are getting second opinions as they determine the best course of action along with a timeline for return. Demetrius Harris will likely see an increase in snaps, but Rashard Higgins, Jarvis Landry and Nick Chubb would see the biggest bumps in fantasy value while Njoku recovers.
