Quinshon Judkins Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Browns RB Quinshon Judkins did not practice on Wednesday. He was in New York City meeting with the league about the domestic violence allegations against him. We'll see where that goes in terms of a potential suspension, but we'd be surprised if the Browns deemed Judkins ready to play vs. the Ravens this weekend. His absence would again leave the backfield to Dylan Sampson, Jerome Ford, and Raheim Sanders.

The Cleveland Browns used a pair of 2025 NFL Draft picks to reinforce their backfield. One day after getting the first of those picks, Quinshon Judkins signed, fourth-rounder Dylan Sampson had a strong NFL debut. Sampson led the Browns with 29 rushing yards (2.4 YPC) and was tied for second on the team with 8 targets. Sampson reeled in all 8 of those looks for 64 yards, totaling 93 scrimmage yards in Cleveland's 17-16 home loss to the Bengals.

Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Brown RB Quinshon Judkins is expected to meet with the league office this week about his domestic violence incident. Judkins could play as soon as next week vs. the Packers.

The Browns are signing RB Quinshon Judkins to a fully guaranteed contract ahead of Sunday's game, according to multiple reports. The second-round pick, of course, spent most of the summer navigating domestic assault accusations that ultimately did not produce criminal charges.

Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reported that second-round rookie RB Quinshon Judkins could be nearing a return and might be on the field as soon as this week.

The Browns started RB Dylan Sampson with the first-team offense in Saturday's preseason finale against the Rams. Jerome Ford rotated with him, though, edging Sampson by one snap, one route, and one target while matching Sampson's two carries, according to Pro Football Focus. Pierre Strong and Ahmani Marshall each took the field as well before QB Joe Flacco left but worked behind the first two. Strong logged just two of his five carries before the starters left, and none of the RBs stood out statistically.

Browns rookie RB Quinshon Judkins remains unsigned even after charges were dropped against him for domestic violence. Adam Schefter of ESPN suggested that the deal may not be completed until the NFL investigates the allegation. It is unclear if this could drag out to the regular season.

Cleveland RB Quinshon Judkins will not face formal charges and should return to the team in the near future, according to NFL Insider Jordan Schultz.

Browns RB Jerome Ford missed practices Wednesday and Thursday to open training camp because of an undisclosed injury. HC Kevin Stefanski says the injury "happened over the last couple of weeks," according to Cleveland.com. He also says Ford is "progressing well" and that he "would be OK." Ford's absence presents obvious opportunity for fourth-round rookie Dylan Sampson, with RB Quinshon Judkins also out following domestic-violence charges.

Browns RB Quinshon Judkins was arrested in Fort Lauderdale on Saturday and charged with battery and domestic violence. No further details are available at this point.
