Cleveland views “Chief” as part of its long-term future.”</p><p>Njoky has not enjoyed a banner year with 30 catches for 255 yards and two touchdowns. But a lot of those numbers got driven down by poor performances from now-injured quarterback Deshaun Watson.</p><h2><b>Browns TE David Njoku seen as a difference maker</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Cleveland-Browns-TE-David-Njoku.jpg"><figcaption>Scott Galvin-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The reason NFL teams are chasing Njoku is the perception he can make a real difference with a good quarterback on a good team. Last year Njoku caught 81 passes for 882 yards and six scores.</p><p>And Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio implied, via usatoday.com, there is a price that <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2024/11/04/david-njoku-trade-rumors-landing-spots/76045202007/" rel="noopener">can be paid</a> for Njoku.</p><p>“One name to keep an eye on – tight end David Njoku,” Florio said. “He could be available for the right price.”</p><p>The thinking seems to center on Njoku’s contract situation. He will enter the last season of a four-year, $54.7 million deal in 2025.</p><p>Among the teams that could chase Njoku are the Colts, Chargers, Patriots, and Commanders. The Colts seem to be a logical spot despite the team coming off a loss to the Vikings and falling to 4-5. Njoku thrived with Joe Flacco at quarterback with the Browns last season. In three of their four games, Njoku totaled at least 90 yards receiving. He also scored four TDs.</p><p>He would also seem to fit well in Los Angeles with Jim Harbaugh’s conservative offense.</p><p>The Commanders are a wild card in the hunt for Njoku. Washington needs another receiving threat for rookie standout quarterback Jayden Daniels. Njoku would provide that and make the Commanders’ strong offense even more dangerous. It could make Terry McLaurin tougher to handle on the outside with Njoku causing trouble in the middle of the field.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

One of their key pieces, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-cleveland-loses-david-njoku-raiders-matchup-ankle-injury">David Njoku, has been dealing with injuries</a> this season to his knee and ankle. Njoku missed three games with a high ankle sprain, and then he returned in Week 5 against the Washington Commanders. Unfortunately, during that game, he injured his knee.</p><p>Head coach Kevin Stefanski noted that Njoku would be day-to-day heading into their matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, but the tight end said <a href="https://x.com/MaryKayCabot/status/1844421670158966987" rel="noopener">is not worried</a> about his availability.</p><p>“Caught up with Browns TE David Njoku for a sec. Downplayed his knee injury from the Commanders game. Said he plans to return to practice today and face the Eagles on Sunday,” Browns reporter May Kay Cabot tweeted on X, formerly Twitter.</p><p>It would be a plus for the Browns to have Njoku on the field, and it looks like that will ultimately be happening in Week 6.</p><h2>Browns making changes on offense?</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/David-Njoku.jpg"><figcaption>Scott Galvin-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>After the Browns’ loss against the Washington Commanders, Kevin Stefanski shared that he would not turn over the playcalling to offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-browns-deshaun-watson-reacts-to-kevin-stefanskis-major-decision-offense">and Deshaun Watson approved</a>.</p><p>“We believe in Kevin,” Watson said. “Kevin’s been doing play calls for multiple years in his league. Two-time (AP NFL Coach of the Year) while doing the play-calling. So there’s no faith or love lost in Kevin calling plays. We think he’s the best player caller in the league. So at the same time, as overall and as the leader of this offense, I’ve got to make sure everybody’s around so we can execute those plays that he’s calling, so we can show that he’s that guy that we believe in and that the world and that the NFL world knows that he’s one of the best play callers in this game.”</p><p>There have been that the Browns should be Watson after his play to start the season, but Stefanski isn’t putting the blame on his quarterback.</p><p>“I have to coach better. As offensive coaches, we have to coach better,” Stefanski said. “As players, we have to play better. Deshaun can play better, he will play better. He’s had some, obviously, good moments and then there’s some times that we have to play better around him.”</p><p>The Browns are currently 32nd in yards per game, yards per play, passing net yards per play, sacks per pass play, third down efficiency, and 27th in rushing, so they need to find a spark soon.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Njoku, who has not played since <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-dealt-concerning-david-njoku-ankle-injury-update">suffering the injury in Week 1</a>, returned to limited practice on Thursday, offering some hope for his return. However, his absence was confirmed, further complicating the Browns’ efforts to rebound from a 1-2 start.</p><p>Njoku’s absence is a major setback for the Browns’ offense, particularly in the passing game. Quarterback Deshaun Watson, still working to establish a rhythm with his receivers, will be without one of his top targets once again. Njoku has been a key part of Cleveland’s offensive scheme, both as a pass-catcher and as a blocker. His ability to create mismatches with defenders makes him a crucial component of the Browns’ attack, especially in critical situations like red-zone opportunities.</p><h2><b>David Njoku unavailable for Browns Week 4 against Raiders</b></h2><p>The Browns’ offensive line has been hit hard as well. Starting tackles <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-cleveland-out-multiple-players-raiders-game">Jedrick Wills (knee) and Jack Conklin (hamstring) are also out</a> for Sunday’s game after missing practice all week. The team is further hindered by the recent placement of right guard Wyatt Teller on injured reserve, making protection for Watson a significant concern. Without Njoku’s blocking support and the starting offensive line in place, Cleveland will need to adjust its game plan to account for these critical losses.</p><p>Running back Pierre Strong, who has been ruled out with a hamstring injury, adds to the list of Browns unavailable for Week 4. His absence places more pressure on the remaining backfield options and makes Cleveland’s offensive task even more difficult against the Raiders.</p><p>At <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-deshaun-watson-reacts-disappointing-loss-giants">1-2, the Browns are at a critical juncture in the season</a>, and Njoku’s absence compounds the challenge as they look to avoid falling further behind. The team has not provided a specific timeline for his return, leaving uncertainty about when he will be back on the field. As Cleveland navigates these mounting injury issues, the absence of Njoku — one of their most reliable offensive contributors — adds another obstacle to their path forward.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
