Cleveland Browns Activate Rookie Quinshon Judkins Ahead Ravens Game

The Cleveland Browns activated rookie running back Quinshon Judkins for their Week 2 game against the Baltimore Ravens despite ongoing NFL investigations into a domestic assault case from July. Judkins, the 36th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, had a disrupted preseason due to legal issues and a shoulder injury but impressed coaches during recent practices, leading to his activation and starting role. Browns coach Kevin Stefanski praised Judkins' progress and has emphasized careful management of his playing time as he integrates into the team's offense. Judkins' college career was notable, with strong performances at Ole Miss and Ohio State, including a national championship contribution. The NFL investigation remains open, and Judkins could still face suspension, but the Browns have chosen not to suspend him so far. Cleveland is coming off a narrow loss and faces a tough challenge against Baltimore, where Judkins' impact will be closely watched.
