Ankle tag cleared; full go at Tennessee
Latest
Quinshon Judkins’s current injury designation is shown in the live status box above, which updates automatically from our tracked injury feed. He was ruled out for Cleveland’s Week 6 game against Baltimore with an ankle injury, per NBC Sports (Oct. 18), and the tag came off our tracked feed entirely by Friday, Oct. 23, ahead of the Browns’ Week 7 road game at Tennessee. He returned in 2026 from the fractured fibula and dislocated ankle that ended his rookie season in Week 16 of 2025.
He ran 12 times for 33 yards in the Week 1 opener at Jacksonville and had 21 rushing yards with five catches at Tampa Bay in Week 2, per FantasyPros, which noted a 68.3% snap rate and all of the team’s red-zone carries. He missed a Sept. 23 practice for a personal, non-injury reason.
Fantasy Action: Start Judkins with confidence at Tennessee now that the ankle tag is gone; Raheim Sanders remains the backfield alternative if it flares up again, with Dylan Sampson still on injured reserve.
