The Cleveland Browns have multiple players not practicing at the moment, including reigning Defensive Rookie of the Year Carson Schwesinger and wideout Cedric Tillman. Unfortunately, another big name was added to that list on Aug. 19 after Quinshon Judkins was not seen at practice on Wednesday, as reported by Scott Petrak. It is not currently known exactly what the source of the injury is that's keeping the former second round draft pick on the sidelines, but it may well stem from an incident occurring the day before in practice during what was a day of "over-physicality" from the defensive side of the ball.
"During a move-the-ball session, a defensive lineman made contact with Shedeur Sanders’ arm and was sent to the sideline. Same thing happened after Adin Huntington knocked Quinshon Judkins to the ground on a run play. Practice was called not too long afterwards." ESPN's Daniel Oyufasi wrote on Tuesday.
Big hits don't necessarily lead to injuries, but it is hard not to put two and two together given the course of events. Judkins missed the last two games of the season with a dislocated ankle and fractured fibula back in December, but has been a mainstay from the start of training camp, with no other injury setbacks having been reported in recent weeks. The team will hope that this is simply a minor injury or tweak that has him return to a more-or-less full bill of health in the coming days.
Further ankle injury issues will certainly want to be avoided. In his absence, the opportunities will present themselves to second year fourth round pick Dylan Sampson and former LA Chargers back Raheim Sanders to get reps with the 1s.
