Browns Unsigned Rookie Quinshon Judkins May Not Be at Camp Following Arrest

Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry indicated Thursday that he doesn't expect to see Quinshon Judkins on the field at training camp for a while.

The rookie running back remains unsigned after he was arrested on July 12 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on a charge of battery and domestic violence.

"In terms of those decisions — signing, being at camp and everything like that — it’s honestly probably too early to make any type of determination," Berry said before the Browns held their second training camp practice. "As we gather information, we’ll have a better view on that. Sometimes the information comes a little bit more slowly, but we’re still [probably in] the information-gathering stage with him."

The Browns selected Judkins with the 36th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft after he rushed for 1,060 yards and 14 touchdowns at Ohio State last season.

Judkins and Cincinnati defensive end Shemar Stewart (the 17th overall pick) are the NFL’s only unsigned draft picks. Berry made it sound as if Judkins' situation was related more to off-field matters than money.

"Obviously, the second round was unique this year," Berry said. "Now, it’s pretty well slotted, so whether there’s a formal framework in place — maybe the technical answer is no — but in terms of where that slot should land, yes, that’s pretty straightforward."

The bigger concern for Berry and the organization could be their vetting process with draft prospects. This is the second straight summer Cleveland has had to deal with an off-field domestic violence incident.

Defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr. — the team’s second-round pick in 2024 — was arrested during training camp on a domestic violence charge. He pleaded no contest to a reduced charge of disorderly
