BEREA, Ohio -- Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku is "week-to-week" after sustaining an ankle injury in the team's season-opening 33-17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday.
Stefanski would not confirm whether Njoku has a high ankle sprain, which was the team's initial fear when he was injured Sunday.
On the Browns' second drive of the third quarter, Njoku injured his ankle at the end of a 29-yard catch-and-run. He visited the medical tent before exiting and heading into the locker room. The Browns announced Njoku was questionable to return, but he never came back into the game. He finished Sunday with four catches for 44 yards.
Njoku, who was named to his first Pro Bowl last season, is one of two tight ends on Cleveland's 53-man roster. The other, Jordan Akins, played 43 snaps on Sunday with Njoku sidelined for a majority of the second half. Cameron Latu and Blake Whiteheart are on the team's practice squad.
Stefanski also said that linebackers Tony Fields (ankle) and Mohamoud Diabate (hip) and defensive lineman Maurice Hurst (ankle) will be week-to-week after sustaining injuries on Sunday.
