In a devastating blow to the Cleveland Browns, it looks like tight end David Njoku will once again be sidelined for their upcoming game against the Giants. Njoku, who missed last week’s victory over the Jaguars due to an ankle injury, is not expected to make a return this week according to head coach Kevin Stefanski.
Stefanski broke the news to reporters at a press conference on Wednesday, expressing his doubts about Njoku’s availability for the game. With Jordan Akins as the only remaining tight end on the active roster, the Browns have opted to elevate Blake Whiteheart from the practice squad. Akins, who managed just one catch in the last game against Jacksonville, will have to step up in Njoku’s absence.
But the bad news doesn’t end there for the Browns. Stefanski also revealed that cornerback Denzel Ward’s shoulder injury may limit his playing time once again. Ward was only able to play 11 snaps in the previous game, leaving fans and teammates hoping for a more significant contribution this time around. Additionally, tackle Dawand Jones and running back Pierre Strong are both expected to miss Wednesday’s practice due to knee and hamstring injuries, respectively.
Despite these setbacks, the Browns remain focused and determined to continue their winning streak. As they gear up to face the Giants without Njoku and potentially Ward, the team is counting on their depth and resilience to carry them through. The road to victory may be tough, but with the support of their loyal fans and unwavering determination, the Browns are ready to face whatever challenges come their way.
