Like the Cleveland Browns get ready to face the Miami Dolphins, they have announced the five players who will not dress in this Week 17 game.
Together kickoff will be at 4:05 p.m. ESTthe Browns will be without tight end David Njoku. The decision was announced on Friday as Njoku suffers from a knee injury. He was one of three players announced to miss this match due to injury.
With one game left in the season against the Baltimore Ravens, it remains to be seen whether or not Njoku will participate in the season finale. Njoku is just one of the few players not to suit up, however.
Here are the five Browns players announced as inactive as they host the Dolphins at Huntington Bank Field:
