David Njoku questionable, Myles Garrett set to play Browns-Bengals

When quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson makes his first start of the year this Sunday, he may have Cleveland’s best tight end back on the field to face Cincinnati.

The Browns have listed tight end David Njoku as questionable for the contest.

Njoku (hamstring) missed last week’s loss to the Chiefs.

“He’s very motivated to play,” head coach Kevin Stefanski said Friday, via Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. “We'll see how he responds to practicing today and make the decision.”

Njoku has recorded 56 catches for 439 yards with five touchdowns in 10 games this season.

Receiver Cedric Tillman (concussion) also may be able to return, with Stefanski expressing optimism he’ll clear protocol. The same goes for cornerback Martin Emerson, who suffered a concussion last weekend. Both players are officially questionable.

While Jameis Winston was initially slated to be the No. 2 quarterback this weekend, Stefanski noted on Friday that Winston is dealing with some shoulder soreness. If he’s not able to be the backup, that job will go to Bailey Zappe. Winston has been listed as questionable.

Defensive tackle Shelby Harris (elbow) has been ruled out.

Defensive end Myles Garrett (back) is off the injury report and set to play.
