Browns TE David Njoku will play vs. Ravens despite burns on face and arms

Despite a freak accident at his home on Friday night that led to burns on his arms and face, tight end David Njoku will play for the Cleveland Browns as they get set to take on the Baltimore Ravens in this Week 4 matchup. And with quarterback Deshaun Watson out in this one, this could end up being a pretty big win for this offense that needs to get the ground game going. Having one of the best run blocking tight ends available is a massive boost to that.

With Dorian Thompson-Robinson under center, the Browns may rely more on their tight end in the passing game to get things going. Every offensive weapon is healthy, as is the offensive line. Head coach Kevin Stefanski will not ask Thompson-Robinson to do too much offensively but will need him to play a bit of point guard against the Ravens. Njoku could be a big key to that.
