David Njoku Questionable For Week 5

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) is questionable for Week 5 against the Los Angeles Chargers after getting in a limited practice on Friday.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Justin Jackson (groin) is listed as doubtful to play in Week 5 against the Cleveland Browns after missing practice on Thursday and Friday.

Chase Edmonds Will Be Game-Time Decision

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (shoulder) will be a game-time decision in Week 5 against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury.
