Quinshon Judkins will not suit up for the Cleveland Browns in their Week 6 contest against the Baltimore Ravens after an ankle check in the pre‑game routine. The decision leaves the Browns without one of their primary running backs for the AFC North clash.
Quinshon Judkins injury status
The ankle issue was confirmed during warm‑ups on Friday, and the team elected to keep him out. While Judkins participated in a limited practice earlier in the week, the ankle test suggests he will miss at least this game. No official timeline for his return has been provided.
Browns RB depth concerns
With Judkins sidelined, the Browns' running back group is thin. Backup Dylan Sampson remains on the injury list, and Raheim Sanders is on injured reserve with a hip problem. Consequently, the coaching staff is turning to Jaleel McLaughlin and recently added Audric Estime to shoulder the workload.
McLaughlin, who was signed earlier in the season, is viewed as the more reliable option for fantasy managers, though the overall backfield is considered a risky play for this week.
Is Judkins playing Week 6?
Based on the latest reports, the answer is no. The Browns have officially listed him as inactive, joining a list that includes quarterback Taylen Green and several defensive players.
Other Browns inactives
- Taylen Green – QB
- Noah Igbinoghene – CB
- Mike Hall Jr. – DT
- Parker Brailsford – C
- Teven Jenkins – OG
- Mason Graham – DT
These roster moves were also noted in the league’s weekly injury report released shortly before the game.
What’s next for the Browns?
Head coach will likely lean on McLaughlin and Estime while monitoring Judkins’ recovery. If Judkins returns, he may see limited snaps or a pitch‑count approach, but his role this week is uncertain.
