BEREA, Ohio -- Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku is unlikely to play Sunday against the New York Giants because of his lingering ankle injury, coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday.
Njoku did not play in Cleveland's Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars after injuring his ankle in the season opener against the Dallas Cowboys.
Stefanski has said that Njoku is week-to-week but did not confirm if Njoku has a high ankle sprain, which was the team's initial fear. He did not practice Wednesday.
Njoku, 28, was named to his first Pro Bowl last season after a breakout campaign in which he recorded career highs in receptions (81), yards (882) and touchdown catches (6). He caught four passes for 44 yards in Week 1.
