Browns rookie Judkins faces uphill battle to debut against Ravens
Quinshon Judkins, once sidelined by legal issues, signed a $11 million contract and is expected to practice soon amid an NFL investigation, aiming for a Week 2 debut.
- Rookie running back Quinshon Judkins was in New York on September 10, 2025, meeting with NFL officials in an investigation under the league’s personal conduct policy.
- Judkins was absent from training camp and preseason activities following a domestic violence allegation in Florida in July, but authorities decided not to file charges on August 14 after identifying inconsistencies in the accuser’s account.
- Cleveland lost its Week 1 game to Cincinnati 17-16 with only 49 rushing yards, and coach Kevin Stefanski stressed the need for better running game performance and preparation.
- Stefanski emphasized that improving their rushing performance compared to Week 1 is essential for the team’s success, and he anticipates Judkins, who was absent from practice on September 10, will soon begin practicing.
- Judkins could bolster Cleveland's rushing attack if activated, and the Browns will decide his availability after he practices, facing a strong Baltimore defense that led the league allowing only 80.1 rushing yards per game last year.
