The fact that Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku was able to play against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 4 is now a bit more bizarre. 

Njoku shared to his Instagram a picture of his face blistered up from the bonfire accident. The Browns added Njoku to the injury report a day before they took on the Ravens on Oct. 1. Cleveland’s tight end suffered the injury lighting a fire.

You can just imagine how tough it would be to gut it out and play in an NFL game through the pain of the blisters. The only reason that Njoku was questionable was they were not sure if he would be able to keep his helmet on.

Against the Ravens, Njoku had his best game of the season so far with six catches resulting in 46 yards. In four games, Njoku has 16 catches for a total of 138 receiving yards.

Njoku did not practice on Wednesday in preparation for the San Francisco 49ers due to the burns to his face and arm.

One thing that folks will never be able to question about Njoku is his toughness. NFL players sit out for much less, but Njoku wasn’t letting this stop him from being out there in Week 4.
