Will David Njoku play in Week 5 for the Browns? What we know before kickoff vs. Commanders

David Njoku hasn’t played for the Cleveland Browns since Week 1, when he suffered a high ankle sprain. It was a huge loss for the team.

But will he return in Week 5 against the Washington Commanders? Here’s what we know as the clock ticks down to kickoff.

Per one report that you can see below from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, he’s “expected to play.” While that seems like a definitive answer, just make sure to check back in when inactive lists are finalized.
