CLEVELAND (AP) — Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku suffered burns to his face and arm in an accident at home while lighting a fire pit.
Njoku was added to the injury report on Saturday and listed as questionable for Sunday's home game against the Baltimore Ravens.
However, his agent Malki Kawa, posted on social media that the 27-year-old tight end “is OK.” Kawa thanked “everyone for reaching out.”Njoku, who is in his seventh season with Cleveland, has 10 catches for 92 yards this season.
Njoku's injury further complicates things for the Browns (2-1), who could be without starting quarterback Deshaun Watson against the Ravens.
The Browns elevated tight end Zaire Mitchell-Paden from the practice squad in case Njoku is inactive.
