David Njoku shortlisted for COVID-19, excluded from Sunday vs. Ravens

The Cleveland Browns preparing for a big match with Baltimore Raven this Sunday. This will be their second match in a row against rivals AFC North. After the goodbye week, Cleveland has a great chance to win a place in the playoff push.

Unfortunately for the Browns, some of their key players will not be available. Head coach Kevin Stefanski has announced that David Njoku, full-back Anthony Walker and player-athlete Jamie Gillan, who are on the Browns’ COVID-19 list, will all miss this weekend’s game.

Njoku led the Browns in yards received and touchdowns and was third in receptions. This match will be the first one he misses all season. Losing one of the biggest threats they receive against a crowned second-tier Baltimore team – linebacker Marlon Humphrey could be on the field for the rest of the season – unfortunately for Baker Mayfield and company.

Walker, despite playing only nine games this season, is Cleveland’s top tackler with 85 tackles combined. No other player on his team has more than 60. Gillan is the only player on the team, so they will have to find a replacement before starting at FirstEnergy Stadium.

With the Browns in a tightly packed race As for the Wild Card slot, the winnings this weekend are going to be huge. The Raven leads the table but only in a few games. A championship is still within reach for the Browns but the clock is ticking for them to catch Baltimore on the leaderboard.
