Meanwhile, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said after the game that the team is also evaluating the rookie for a knee injury. We'll keep an eye on his recovery timeline, but Judkins is sure to miss at least a chunk of the offseason program. In his place, Cleveland may ride Raheim Sanders and Trayveon Williams.

Chargers Sign RB Raheim Sanders to a UDFA Contract
The Los Angeles Chargers signed South Carolina RB Raheim Sanders to an Undrafted Free Agent contract after the 2025 NFL Draft. “Rocket” Sanders was once a highly touted prospect expected to be a potential first-round NFL Draft pick. He rushed for 1,443 yards and 10 TDs at Arkansas in 2022, quickly ascending as a top RB in all of college football. Unfortunately, 2023 was plagued by injuries, including a knee issue and a severe shoulder injury that required surgery. He transferred to South Carolina in 2024 to reunite with OC Dowell Loggains, leading to 1,000+ total yards. He runs with adequate power but will need to clean up the fumbles after putting three balls on the ground in ‘24. After running a 4.46 40-yard dash at 217 pounds, Sanders showed he has the speed to impact NFL games.
