The excitement is palpable as Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins prepares to make his much-anticipated NFL debut. On Saturday, the Cleveland Browns officially announced that Judkins has been activated for their upcoming game against the Baltimore Ravens. This news comes after a week filled with uncertainty regarding his availability, as he was listed as questionable just a day prior.
Throughout the week, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski refrained from confirming whether Judkins would take the field, but the recent activation clears him to play. The Browns selected Judkins with the 36th overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft, intending to establish him as their starting running back. However, the team faced a significant hurdle when Judkins was accused of domestic violence in July, leading to delays in signing him to his rookie contract.
In a turn of events, the prosecutors have since dropped the charges against Judkins, allowing the Browns to officially sign him. Now, the team is eager to see how his addition can bolster their struggling running game. Last week, the Browns faced significant challenges, with running backs Dylan Sampson and Jerome Ford managing to combine for a mere 37 yards and two first downs on 18 carries.
Cleveland is hopeful that Judkins can bring a much-needed spark to their offense. As the team gears up for their game against the formidable Ravens, all eyes will be on the rookie to see if he can help improve their offensive production. Fans and analysts alike are eager to witness how Judkins’ talent translates to the professional stage, especially in such a crucial matchup.
With the Browns now ready to unleash Judkins, the anticipation for his debut is building. Will he rise to the occasion and help the Browns turn their season around? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the spotlight is firmly on Quinshon Judkins as he steps into the NFL spotlight.
