Now we know why David Njoku was wearing a full mask to last week’s game.
Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku suffered burns to his face and arm in an accident at home while lighting a fire pit.
We are now getting a look at just how bad his burns were after he posted a picture to social media on Wednesday.
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 Browns added Njoku to the injury report a day before they took on the Ravens on Oct. 1st.

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.
In the meantime, Njoku has launched a line of merchandise, and a percentage of the proceeds will be directly donated to the American Burn Association.
He also plans to promote the association to survivors of serious burn-related injuries during “My Cause, My Cleats” in week 13 of the NFL season.
