Josh Downs Injury Update
Downs (shoulder) is expected to return in Week 15 against the Broncos. He immediately ranks as a solid WR3/FLEX option.

David Njoku Injury Update
Njoku (hamstring) said that he wants to play this week, but he'll likely need to put together a positive pre-game workout in order to be cleared for Week 15. The odds are not in his favor as Njoku, who is listed as questionable, missed all three practices in the week leading up to Sunday's contest.
#Browns TE David Njoku, who is listed as questionable with a hamstring injury, will need a positive pre-game workout to prove he can play today, source said.
Not practicing all week doesn't bode well. But the team will give him a shot.
