DAVID NJOKU NEWS

Finds end zone in return Njoku caught seven of nine targets for 59 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Bengals. He added one rushing attempts for minus-2 yards.

Impact After missing the previous game due to a knee injury, Njoku showed instant chemistry with quarterback Deshaun Watson in their first game together. The pair linked up for a 13-yard touchdown in the third quarter, and Njoku's nine targets marked his second-highest total of the season. Njoku will look to build on this strong effort in Week 15 against the Ravens.

Ready to face Bengals Njoku (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site reports.

Impact Njoku will be back in action after sitting out the Browns' Week 13 win over the Texans with the injury. He'll be playing his first game alongside quarterback Deshaun Watson, who struggled to build chemistry with any of Cleveland's pass catchers in his team debut last week.

Practice reps limited Thursday Njoku (knee) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact After sitting out last Sunday's 27-14 win over the Texans with the knee issue, Njoku has opened Week 14 prep with a pair of limited sessions. The Browns won't decide on whether Njoku carries a designation into this weekend's game against the Bengals until after Friday's practice, but the tight end is expected to return to the lineup Sunday, per Brad Stainbrook of 247Sports.com. If Njoku puts an end to his one-game absence this weekend, he'll be playing in his first game with new starting quarterback Deshaun Watson, who returned from his 11-game suspension last week and made his season debut against Houston.

Looks good in limited practice Njoku (knee) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact Njoku missed three of the past six games with two separate knee injuries but reportedly is expected to return from a one-week absence for Sunday's matchup with Cincinnati. Petrak notes that the tight end looked good at Wednesday's practice, though the Browns kept him limited rather than unleashing Njoku as a full participant. That could be coming Thursday or Friday.

Expected to play Sunday Njoku (knee) is expected to practice this week and play Sunday against the Bengals, Brad Stainbrook of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Njoku was sidelined for Week 13 due to a knee injury, marking his third absence over the past six weeks. However, the tight end is presumably feeling better and trending in the right direction to start Week 14. Nonetheless, fantasy managers should monitor Njoku's participation throughout prep to ensure he's still on track to suit up later in the week. When available, the 2017 first-round pick has been a consistent producer, totaling 41 receptions for 464 yards and two scores across nine appearances.

Dealing with knee issue Njoku won't practice Wednesday due to a knee injury, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact According to Petrak, head coach Kevin Stefanski said Njoku's current knee issue is different than the one that sidelined him for two games earlier this season and kept him on last week's injury report. In any case, the tight end's status is now worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans. If Njoku ends up sitting out this weekend or is available in a limited capacity, Harrison Bryant and Pharaoh Brown would be in line for added snaps.
