Dolphins Could Face Browns Without David Njoku and QB in Potential Playoff Decider

The Miami Dolphins playoff hopes are slim, but still alive after their 29-17 triumph over the San Fransisco 49ers on Sunday.

They move on to face the Cleveland Browns on the road in Week 17, who might be further depleted on offense than they already have been.

Both tight end David Njoku and current starting quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson are listed in Cleveland's injury report according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport.

"Two more injuries to monitor for the #Browns with an eye toward this weekend: DTR has a calf injury and TE David Njoku has a knee injury," Rapoport said on X Monday afternoon.

Njoku can't seem to catch a break this season. He had just been activated to play after nursing a hamstring injury and missing Week 15. Previous to that, he had suffered both an ankle and knee injury at different times.

The veteran has missed a total of five games collectively to these injuries.
