Browns' Quinshon Judkins taking important step regarding NFL investigation

A move to the commissioner’s exempt list is unlikely, but league discipline could still result from the NFL’s investigation. This in-person meeting with Judkins will be key in determining how things will play out on that front. The 21-year-old is in the fold via a roster exemption that will expire after Week 2.

Quinshon Judkins' status

Judkins is expected to return to the Browns for practice Thursday, per Oyefusi. The Ole Miss and Ohio State product missed all of training camp and the preseason as he remained unsigned, something that could lead to a reduced workload whenever he does first see the field. Nevertheless, the departure of Nick Chubb in free agency allowed for a committee approach to be used in Cleveland’s backfield. Jerome Ford received six carries in Week 1, while fourth-round rookie Dylan Sampson handled twice as many attempts.

Judkins will be expected to handle a role alongside those two when he is cleared for game action. On Sunday, the Browns will play the Ravens in a contest of 0-1 teams. How this meeting plays out will no doubt go a long way in dictating if he is able to make his debut at that time.
