Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski expressed optimism regarding David Njoku's availability for the upcoming game against the Bengals despite a hamstring injury. Njoku missed the previous game against the Chiefs, and his status will be determined during pregame warmups. If he cannot play, Jordan Akins is expected to take over as the starting tight end, potentially affecting the target distribution among the wide receivers.

Njoku's status is uncertain but there is hope for his return.
If Njoku is out, expect increased targets for the Browns' wide receivers.
