DAVID NJOKU NEWS

Puts in full practice Njoku (knee/rest) was a full participant at Thursday's practice, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Njoku sat out the Browns' first Week 5 practice session a day earlier, but the fact that he had a "rest" designation attached to his name along with the knee injury suggested his status for Sunday's game against the Chargers was never in much question. His return to practice as a full participant verifies that, and Njoku should remain one of Jacoby Brissett's favorite targets this weekend. Over the past two games, Njoku has drawn 17 looks and has turned them into 14 receptions for 162 yards and a touchdown.

Back at practice Njoku (knee/rest) returned to practice Thursday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact It remains to be seen if Njoku -- who sat out Wednesday's session -- will be listed as a limited or full participant by the Browns, but the tight end's return to practice Thursday presumably puts him on track to suit up Sunday against the Chargers.

Resting sore knee Njoku was held out of Wednesday's practice, with the Browns designating his injury as "knee/rest", Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The addition of "rest" rather than just the "knee" label alone comes as a comfort to fantasy managers who intend to use Njoku in lineups for his Week 5 matchup with the Chargers -- a team he roasted for a career-high 149 receiving yards last season. It was one of his few productive receiving outings of 2021, but Njoku now is averaging 4.5 catches for 50.3 yards per game in a three-down role through the first four weeks of 2022. He'll likely return to practice later this week and suit up Sunday.

Team-high 73 yards Njoku (knee) had five receptions (seven targets) for 73 yards while rushing once for a loss of six yards and losing a fumble in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Falcons.

Impact Njoku saw another high-usage week following last Thursday's career game (nine receptions for 89 yards and a touchdown). The veteran tight end had a couple of negative plays in the form of a fumble on his first reception of the game in addition to a negative play on a peculiar rushing attempt. After a slow start -- and a brief knee injury scare during practice this week -- Njoku is looking like an appealing option heading into a favorable matchup against the Chargers next Sunday.

All systems go for Week 4 Njoku (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against Atlanta after practicing fully Friday, Mark Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Njoku sat out Thursday's practice, but his return Friday and lack of injury designation confirm that his absence Thursday was just for maintenance purposes. The tight end appears to have established himself as Cleveland's No. 2 option in the passing game behind Amari Cooper, and Njoku will look to put forth a second consecutive strong performance Sunday after racking up 89 yards and a touchdown Week 3 against the Steelers.
