Browns tight end David Njoku is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens after Njoku suffered burn injuries to his face and arm during a household accident, the team announced Saturday.
Njoku’s injuries occurred when lighting a fire pit in his backyard, and he is OK, according to a league source.

The Browns promoted second-year tight end Zaire Mitchell-Paden from the practice squad.
Also promoted for Sunday’s game was quarterback P.J. Walker, who becomes the team’s emergency quarterback. Starter Deshaun Watson is questionable with a shoulder injury that kept Watson out of most of the practice week.
Rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson is in line to start Sunday’s game, but the Browns did not update Watson’s status Saturday and have until Sunday morning before making a game decision on Watson.
