David Njoku was forced out of Sunday's game against the Ravens with a knee injury, Andrew Gribble of the Browns' official site reports.

Prior to his exit, Njoku hauled in all three of his targets for 50 yards and a TD. Added tight end snaps behind Hooper are now available for Harrison Bryant and Stephen Carlson if the injury is serious. Hooper had a line of just 2-15-0 in Week 1.

Browns’ TE David Njoku has had “some good meetings with the new Browns’ organization including GM Andrew Berry and he has decided to give the team his full commitment right now and go from there,” said his agent, Drew Rosenhaus.

Njoku requested a trade earlier this summer after the team signed Hooper to a big deal. Njoku staying in Cleveland won't help his fantasy owners as he'll play behind Hooper.

My understanding is TE David Njoku remains a big part of the Browns plans, going back to the winter and the transition in the organization.

Njoku has wanted out of Cleveland for a while, according to reports, perhaps even more now with the Hooper signing. Anderson said the Browns believe Njoku can still have a great year for the team. Anderson added in the tweet the Bears are monitoring the situation.

Browns’ TE David Njoku and his agent Drew Rosenhaus asked today for the team to trade him. The Browns told Njoku they would like to keep him, but Rosenhaus told them he’s intent on a trade. They want a trade before training camp.

About David Njoku’s trade request today to the Browns, agent Drew Rosenhaus said: "It is in David's best interest to find a new team at this time."

David Njoku is obviously unhappy with the addition of Austin Hooper to the roster for 2020, and is looking for a team to be their TE1. Keep an eye on this situation as it could certainly have an effect on his current 20th round ADP. Njoku has 1,066 receiving yards and nine touchdowns in his three-year career with the Browns.

The Browns activated TE David Njoku from injured reserve Saturday.

It took some time for Njoku to finally be activated but he is now likely to play Sunday for the first time since Week 2. He’ll be in the lineup but may not be a huge factor as he eases back into game action. Likely not ideal to put all your eggs in this basket as you try to advance in the playoffs.

Browns Freddie Kitchens said it's too early to say if TE David Njoku will be activated this week to face Steelers.

Kitchens said the current TEs have been doing a good job. Njoku did practice last week but even if he returns this week there will be some questions about how much he plays. It may be risky this time of year to trust him as we head into the fantasy playoffs.
