Browns’ David Njoku Suffers High Ankle Sprain But Avoids Surgery, per Report

The Browns will be without one of their top pass-catchers for the next few weeks after losing tight end David Njoku to an ankle injury.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Njoku suffered a high ankle sprain during Sunday’s loss to the Ravens, but it will not require surgery. The injury is expected to sideline him for the next two-to-five weeks.

Cleveland coach Kevin Stefanski described the veteran tight end’s status as week-to-week when speaking to reporters Monday.

Njoku sustained the injury in the second half of the Browns’ 23–20 loss to their AFC North rivals.
