Browns' Njoku Questionable; Trade Speculation Grows

Browns tight end David Njoku has been limited in multiple practices with a knee issue and is officially listed as questionable and day-to-day for Sunday’s game at New England after missing Week 7; he must upgrade to full practice Thursday or Friday to likely avoid an injury designation. Njoku returned to practice this week and has 23 receptions for 223 yards and one touchdown this season, including a recent four-catch, one-TD game. The team has added tight end depth — claiming Brenden Bates and adding Caden Prieskorn to the practice squad — and Njoku is in the final year of his contract, factors that have prompted trade speculation ahead of the Nov. 4 deadline; backup Harold Fannin has also received more snaps recently. Separate roster notes: WR Jerry Jeudy remained a limited participant and could still face an injury designation, DT Mike Hall Jr. is set to make his season debut, and RT Jack Conklin has been cleared to return.
