The Cleveland Browns will not have RB Quinshon Judkins on the field Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, but the team will have their second-round pick under contract. Judkins participated in all offseason activities prior to an arrest in Florida on a domestic violence-related charge. No formal charges were filed against Judkins, which cleared the way for him to return to the team, but the two sides had to work out a contract
.There was wild speculation that Judkins could return to college, that he wouldn’t
be reporting to the Browns any time soon and, earlier this week, that he could sign imminently.
Imminently was not soon enough to get the running back on the field versus the Bengals, but multiple reports have Cleveland agreeing to a deal with Judkins:
As noted, the NFL is still investigating, which could lead to league discipline. Sources have communicated to DBN that the team does not expect much, if any, significant punishment for their second-round pick.
A ramp-up week could allow Judkins to be available for Week 2 versus the Baltimore Ravens.
