Quinshon Judkins activated by Browns, to make NFL debut vs. Ravens

Former Ohio State running back Quinshon Judkins is set to make his NFL debut this Sunday, just a week after signing his rookie deal with the Cleveland Browns.
To say Judkins has had a tumultuous offseason would be an understatement. The former Buckeye was arrested on a misdemeanor domestic violence/battery charge in July, but the charges were subsequently dropped. He was the final rookie drafted in the 2025 NFL Draft to sign with his team.
Now though, it appears the saga is nearing its end. The Browns officially activated Judkins on Saturday, which means he’s set to make his NFL debut in Week 2.
Judkins is a brute, to put it simply. He made up half of Ohio State’s Thunder and Lightning rushing duo alongside TreVeyon Henderson, who was drafted by the New England Patriots. The former Ole Miss Rebel found the end zone 16 times for Ohio State last season – 14 times on the ground and twice through the air.
Despite Henderson also being on the roster, Judkins rushed for 1,060 yards on an impressive 5.5 yards per carry against Big Ten competition.
Judkins is one of 2 rookie running backs drafted by the Browns, joining former Tennessee running back Dylan Sampson. He, Sampson and Jerome Ford will handle the majority of Cleveland’s carries this season.
