Browns Reveal RB Quinshon Judkins Status Heading Into Week 6

Cleveland Browns second-year running back Quinshon Judkins suffered an ankle injury during the team's 17-12 loss to the New York Jets in Week 5, and he was seen in a walking boot after the game. However, Browns head coach Todd Monken isn't ready to rule him out for their Week 6 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens quite yet.

According to Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk, Monken told reporters on Monday that Judkins is considered day-to-day and has a chance to play next weekend.

All in all, it's great news for the Browns' rushing attack. While Judkins has started off the 2026 season a bit slow with just 221 rushing yards and one touchdown, he is the team's undoubted No. 1 back.

Judkins impressed as a rookie last season, rushing for 827 yards and seven touchdowns in just 14 games.

The Browns selected Judkins with the No. 36 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft out of Ohio State, where he rushed for 1,060 yards and 14 touchdowns in 2024.

Judkins also played college ball at Ole Miss. There he rushed for another 2,725 yards and 31 touchdowns from 2022-23.

If Judkins is ultimately unable to play come Sunday, the Browns will have to rely on running backs Raheim Sanders and Jaleel McLaughlin.
