Browns' David Njoku: Does little with five catches
Njoku secured five of seven targets for 29 yards in the Browns' 27-10 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.
Njoku was third on the Browns in both receptions and targets, but that equated to very modest production yardage-wise on an afternoon during which Jameis Winston was harassed by the Chargers defense to the tune of six sacks and three interceptions. Njoku does have at least five catches in four consecutive games, and he and Winston should benefit from a more palatable matchup in a Week 11 visit to the Saints following a Week 10 bye.

Browns' David Njoku: Good to go for Week 9
Njoku (ankle/hand) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Some doubt over Njoku's availability crept in after he missed practice Thursday, but he's good to go for the Browns' second game with Jameis Winston as the starting quarterback. Njoku showed strong chemistry with Winston in Cleveland's 29-24 Week 8 win over the Ravens, posting five catches for 61 yards and a touchdown on seven targets. In Njoku's last five games started by a quarterback other than Deshaun Watson (Achilles), which includes games in 2023 when Joe Flacco was under center, Njoku has 434 receiving yards and five touchdowns.

Browns' David Njoku: Back at practice
Njoku (ankle/hand) returned to practice Friday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Njoku didn't practice Thursday, so his return to the field a day later bodes well for his chances of playing Sunday against the Chargers. If the tight end is able to work fully Friday, he could head into the weekend without a Week 9 injury designation.

Browns' David Njoku: Misses Thursday's practice
Njoku (ankle) missed practice Thursday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Njoku practiced fully Wednesday, so his addition to the Browns' injury report a day later is notable. As Cabot notes, the tight end dealt with an ankle issue earlier this season, but it's unclear at this stage if his absence from Thursday's session is maintenance-related or indicative of a setback. Look for added context on that front to arrive no later than Friday, when the Browns practice again.

Browns' David Njoku: Another strong performance
Njoku recorded five receptions on seven targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-24 win over the Ravens.
Njoku remained heavily involved in the offense, drawing at least seven targets for the third straight game. He did the majority of his damage against the Ravens on a pair of long grabs, the first being a 20-yard gain midway through the first quarter and the latter a 23-yard touchdown catch two quarters later. Njoku has a consistent role in the Cleveland offense and has shown improved efficiency with Jameis Winston under center, signaling the potential for a very productive second half of the season.

Browns' David Njoku: Earns 14 targets
Njoku recorded 10 receptions on 14 targets for 76 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Bengals.
The Browns had three different quarterbacks in the game, but that didn't stop Njoku from drawing the second-most targets in a game for his career. The efficiency on that opportunity was understandably lacking, but Njoku did manage receptions of 15 and 13 yards while also finding the end zone on an eight-yard catch late in the game. He had been unproductive with Deshaun Watson (Achilles) under center, so Njoku could see a boost in his production moving forward -- particularly after the departure of Amari Cooper.

Browns' David Njoku: Role enhanced following trade
Njoku is expected to be a target leader for the Browns after the team traded Amari Cooper to Buffalo on Tuesday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Cooper's departure reverberates through the wide receiver room, creating a new order on the depth chart, but don't sleep on the benefit that will accrue to Njoku. He led the Browns in targets and catches in Sunday's loss to the Eagles, his first full game of the season. In addition to Njoku's enhanced role, Jerry Jeudy steps into the role as the No. 1 receiver. Elijah Moore and Cedric Tillman will get more playing time, but the early read is that Njoku and Jeudy will be the primary beneficiaries of the trade.
