Judkins in limbo as Browns weigh backfield after roster cutdown day
During veterans minicamp in Berea, Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins continued to show through 11-on-11 work, but there was no clarity on his status after the recent roster-cut decisions. Judkins, the Browns’ No. 36 overall pick and heir apparent to Nick Chubb, is described as a second-round selection out of Ohio State.
After practice, Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said he had no update on Judkins, underscoring the ongoing evaluation as the team moves closer to training camp. The scene included Judkins against veteran linebackers such as Winston Reid during the 11-on-11 period.
What this means for the Browns:
– Judkins remains in a competitive spot behind Chubb, with decisions likely to come at training camp and beyond.
– The team is weighing depth at running back in the wake of roster cutdowns, focusing on how Judkins and other backs fit into the offense.
Summary: The Browns did not provide new information on Judkins after roster cutdown day, as minicamp rounds out and the backfield competition continues to unfold.
Additional notes for readers:
– Watch Judkins’ progress in training camp and preseason games to gauge whether he can secure a longer-term role.
– The backfield mix could include undrafted players or veterans who can contribute as immediate depth behind Chubb.
– Positive outlook: continued development at this stage keeps Judkins in the competition, offering a potential boost to the Browns’ rushing attack if he adapts quickly to the professional level.
