Browns Star Quinshon Judkins Ruled Out After Shoulder Injury vs Patriots

Cleveland Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins suffered a shoulder injury during their Week 8 game against the New England Patriots, forcing him to exit early and be ruled out for the rest of the game. Judkins, who had been a key bright spot for the Browns' struggling offense, was held to 19 rushing yards on nine carries before the injury, and the Browns turned to Dylan Sampson and Jerome Ford to fill his role. The team is now heading into a bye week, which should provide Judkins extra recovery time, and given the Browns' challenging season, there is no rush to bring him back prematurely. Judkins had recently shown promise with a strong three-touchdown performance in Week 7, despite missing training camp and preseason due to injury. The Browns' focus is shifting towards developing young talent like Judkins for future success, as their current season prospects appear bleak. Additional concerns also arose with injuries to linebacker Carson Schwesinger and cornerback Tyson Campbell during the same game.
