Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku, who returned Sunday after missing three games with an ankle sprain, will have an MRI after injuring his knee in the loss to the Washington Commanders.
Njoku, 28, had one catch for 14 yards before suffering the injury. The Browns’ 2017 first-round pick (29th overall) has five catches for 58 yards in two games this season. The eight-year veteran, a Pro Bowl selection last year, has 292 catches for 3,322 yards and 25 touchdowns in 97 games (68 starts).
Starting cornerback Denzel Ward (hamstring) and starting center Ethan Pocic (knee) will also undergo MRIs, per Browns coach Kevin Stefanski.
Ward, 27, a three-time Pro Bowl selection, leads the NFL with nine pass breakups this season and has eight tackles in five games.
In his seventh season since Cleveland drafted him No. 4 overall in 2018, Ward has 15 interceptions (including two for touchdowns), 85 passes defensed, three forced fumbles, five fumble recoveries (including two for touchdowns) and 281 tackles in 84 games (81 starts).
Pocic, 29, has started 73 of his 90 games since the Seattle Seahawks selected him in the second round of the 2017 draft.
