After missing Sunday’s game, Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku remains day-to-day with his knee injury, coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters Monday.
Njoku did not practice last week ahead of the Browns’ 31-6 home win over the Miami Dolphins. His 223 receiving yards this season rank third on the Browns’ roster, but trail behind rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. (290), who had a team-high four catches for 36 yards on Sunday.
Njoku, 29, is in his ninth season with Cleveland since he was selected 29th overall in the 2017 NFL Draft. He has 374 receptions for 3,992 career receiving yards and 31 touchdowns, posting career highs of 81 catches for 882 yards and six touchdowns in 2023, when he earned his only Pro Bowl nod.
With Dillon Gabriel starting the last three games after Joe Flacco began the season as the Browns’ starting quarterback, Cleveland (2-5) ranks 30th in passing offense (178.3) and is tied for 30th in passing TDs (five).
Stefanski also shared that rookie defensive tackle Adin Huntington is in the concussion protocol coming out of Sunday’s game. He has 10 tackles, a half-sack and a quarterback hit in seven games this season.
The Browns play at New England (5-2) on Sunday.
