Red Bull team principal Christian Horner disagrees with the decision to remove controversial Formula One race director Michael Masi. Munster loosehead Jeremy Loughman has also been called up to the Irish squad for the first time as extra cover. Henderson missed the opening win over Wales because of an ankle injury and came off the bench in the loss to France in Paris. Iain Henderson returns to the squad for Saturday's game after missing the win over Italy with COVID-19, having played the full 80 minutes of Ulster's victory against Cardiff on Friday. Ireland are hopeful centre Robbie Henshaw will be passed fit to take on England after he suffered a head injury in the thrashing of the Azzurri. Ireland had already lost prop Andrew Porter, who sustained an ankle injury during the 57-6 round three rout of Italy, which left Ireland just a point behind leaders France in second place. The 24-year-old back has made 30 test appearances for Ireland, with 13 starts, scoring seven tries. Larmour's last appearance for his country came in the win against Japan in July 2021 at Lansdowne Road. Jordan Larmour has been ruled out of the remainder of Ireland's Six Nations campaign after suffering a hip injury in Leinster's win against Benetton on Saturday. However, his average of 13.2 yards per reception ranked fourth among all qualifying tight ends, and, by tagging Njoku, the Browns clearly believe he can have a more significant impact on their offense. Njoku started 11 of his 16 games in 2021 and finished with 475 yards and four touchdowns in a campaign that saw a disappointing Browns team fail to qualify for the postseason. He played in only four games in 2019 and 13 in 2020 as the Browns reached the Divisional Round of the playoffs. His best season in terms of receiving yards came back in 2018 when he finished with 639, but he has since struggled with injuries. The 2017 first-round pick has yet to live up to expectations since the Browns took him with the 29th overall selection five years ago. Njoku was set to hit unrestricted free agency but the Browns made the move to place a one-year franchise tender on Njoku before Tuesday's deadline, according to a report from NFL Media's Ian Rapoport. The Cleveland Browns have placed the franchise tag on tight end David Njoku.
