Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku has been ruled out for the upcoming game against the Miami Dolphins due to a knee injury sustained in Week 16. This marks Njoku's fifth absence of the season, and with the Browns eliminated from playoff contention, there's little incentive to rush his return. Jordan Akins is expected to take over the starting tight end role in Njoku's absence. Additionally, Njoku was previously listed as questionable for a game against the Chiefs due to a hamstring injury, which further complicates his availability moving forward.
