The Cleveland Browns’ offensive struggles stem from several factors, particularly issues with the offensive line and QB Deshaun Watson. While fans and media, including this writer, continue to analyze the Browns’ failure on 4th-and-1 in Week 3, Week 4 is already here, with the Las Vegas Raiders next on the schedule.
The injury reports this week were daunting, as 11 players across both teams missed practice. For Cleveland, defensive end Myles Garrett and tight end David Njoku are among the key injured players.
Njoku has been sidelined since sustaining an ankle injury in Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys.
However, there’s positive news for Cleveland and fantasy football managers—Njoku returned to practice on Thursday.

Returning to practice is a positive step, likely in a limited capacity. However, suiting up on Sunday, especially with the cross-country travel, hinges on the belief that the star tight end won’t risk aggravating his reported high ankle sprain.
Due to the time zone differences, the injury reports, including the Raiders’, will be released later this evening.
