Browns TE David Njoku Ruled Out for Week 17, Week 18 Return Challenging

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) has been officially ruled out for Sunday's Week 17 matchup against Pittsburgh, marking his third consecutive missed game due to a lingering knee injury. He did not participate in practice all week, making his potential return for the season finale against Cincinnati in Week 18 challenging. With Harold Fannin also questionable, Blake Whiteheart and Brenden Bates are expected to lead the tight end corps for the Browns.
