Browns Downplay David Njoku Trade Possibility After Knee Setback

A team insider says Cleveland is not looking to sell key players before the Nov. 4 deadline.

Overview

  • Head coach Kevin Stefanski said David Njoku sustained a knee setback in the Week 6 loss to the Steelers, with additional evaluation to follow.
  • Browns insider Mary Kay Cabot reported Cleveland is unlikely to trade Njoku despite mounting deadline chatter.
  • Njoku continues to appear on league lists of potential trade candidates, reflecting broader Browns activity after deals involving Joe Flacco and Greg Newsome II.
  • Analysts have highlighted the 49ers and Chargers as potential suitors and suggested a conditional 2026 fourth-round pick as a possible price.
