Browns Rookie Quinshon Judkins Arrested on Domestic Violence Charge in Florida

Cleveland Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins was arrested in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on domestic violence and battery charges just days before the team's training camp was set to begin. The 21-year-old second-round draft pick, who helped Ohio State win the 2024 national championship, remains unsigned and in jail pending a court appearance. The Browns confirmed they are aware of the situation and are gathering more information, while the NFL has yet to issue a statement. Judkins faces potential criminal penalties and possible suspension under the NFL's personal conduct policy, which could include a six-game ban if found guilty. This incident adds to a pattern of off-field issues troubling the Browns franchise and complicates plans for Judkins to compete for the starting running back role following Nick Chubb's departure. Despite not signing his rookie contract, Judkins had participated in team activities during the offseason, but his legal troubles now cast doubt on his participation in training camp.
