Under the special rules for 2020, this means Njoku will miss at least the next 3 weeks of the season.

Njoku was one of the few bright spots in the Browns loss on Sunday catching all three passes thrown to him.

He caught the only touchdown the Browns had on the day.

He played only 17 snaps in the loss before leaving the game with a knee injury.

Earlier in the day, the Browns announced that they signed kicker Cody Parkey and released Austin Seibert.
