On September 29, two days before the Week 4 Cleveland Browns game against the Baltimore Ravens, it was reported that tight end David Njoku suffered burns from a firepit accident.
Those burns were on his arms and face; he was questionable to play in the Ravens game because of putting a helmet over those burns.
Njoku played in the game and caught six passes out of the seven targeted to him for 46 yards.
Nearly two weeks later after a Week 5 bye, Njoku released a photo on his Instagram account of what his face looked like immediately after the accident.
There are two takeaways from seeing the photo.
- Thank goodness he was okay, these burns looked serious and painful.
- How in the world did he wear a tight-fitting helmet over his face?
Check it out.

It is not surprising that he wore the face mask into the facility before the Ravens game.
The media would have taken plenty of photos and had lots of questions.
Njoku’s issues are just the tip of the iceberg for a banged-up Browns team.
Deshaun Watson is still dealing with a shoulder issue, and PJ Walker appears to be in line to start on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers if Watson is unable.
The Browns were missing several starters in Wednesday’s practice including Njoku who is resting to heal the burns, Watson (shoulder), Myles Garrett (foot) who left the Ravens game in a boot, and Joel Bitonio (knee).
Deshaun Watson (shoulder), Joel Bitonio (knee), Myles Garrett (foot), David Njoku (face, hand) will NOT practice for the #Browns today.
