Browns Quinshon Judkins Sidelined in Precaution Ahead Bills

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins has missed multiple practices with a minor, undisclosed issue, with coaches framing it as a precaution and not a major injury. Coaches have indicated Judkins’ absence isn’t alarming, as he’s usually out there, and the team plans to protect him given his role on early downs, while veteran starters may sit in the upcoming preseason workouts. Reports across outlets note the injury is minor and unnamed, leaving Judkins’ status for Saturday’s preseason game against the Bills unclear. On Wednesday and Thursday, practice was marked by physical play and a few skirmishes, but Browns coach Todd Monken emphasized it wasn’t targeting Judkins and cautioned about friendly fire affecting him. In his absence, teammates such as Dylan Sampson, Raheim Sanders, and Ahmani Marshall have taken more repetitions, and the Browns are preparing for joint practices with the Bills before the next preseason game. A later note also references Judkins’ absence in a separate article while keeping the injury description consistent, reinforcing a cautious approach as the team evaluates his availability for upcoming actions in the preseason.
