Cleveland Browns cornerback Denzel Ward remains in concussion protocol, coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday.
The two-time Pro Bowl selection has missed the last two games and his availability for the Week 8 contest against rival Cincinnati is in jeopardy.
Also, Stefanski said starting tight end David Njoku is week-to-week with an ankle injury. ESPN reported it's a high-ankle sprain and that Njoku will miss 2-5 weeks. Stefanski added that TE Pharaoh Brown is also in the concussion protocol and linebacker Jacob Phillips suffered a pectoral injury that is "likely" season ending.
The Browns (2-5) host the Bengals (4-3) on "Monday Night Football" next week.
