Browns RB Faces Injury Concern After Not Being Seen at Practice

The Cleveland Browns have faced injury concerns following the absence of running back Quinshon Judkins from practice on Aug. 19, according to a report by Scott Petrak. Judkins, a former second-round draft pick, is currently sidelined, though the nature of his injury remains undisclosed. It is believed that the incident may have occurred during a practice session characterized by excessive physicality from the defensive side of the ball.

Two defensive linemen, during a move-the-ball session, made contact with Judkins, resulting in him being sent to the sidelines. ESPN's Daniel Oyufasi noted that while big hits do not always lead to injuries, the sequence of events is difficult to ignore. Judkins had previously missed two games of the season due to a dislocated ankle and fractured fibula in December but had been a consistent presence since the start of training camp.

The Browns are hopeful that this injury is minor and that Judkins will return to full health soon. In his absence, running backs Dylan Sampson and Raheim Sanders will have opportunities to earn playing time.
