Browns tell Quinshon Judkins to stay home after ugly accusations by girlfriend

Quinshon Judkins will not be a part of the usual rookie proceedings in Cleveland.

The running back won’t report to Browns training camp on Friday as the team told him to focus on his legal situation after his arrest on battery and domestic violence charges on July 12, according to Cleveland.com.

Judkins allegedly punched his girlfriend in the mouth with a closed first after arriving on a flight at Fort Lauderdale International Airport on July 7. Five days later, the woman reported the incident, saying the delay was because she “felt bad due to the recent success and career of the defendant,” according to the police report.

The 21-year-old has yet to sign a contract as his legal issues take priority.

However, since the incident and as more details unfold, Judkins’ future in the NFL is getting more complicated.

Judkins began to allegedly grow angry at baggage claim at the airport after reading messages from family members. In the car while leaving the airport is when he reportedly struck the woman as she tried to explain the messages were not true.

The alleged hit left her with “visible bruising on her chin area” and Judkins went on to strike the victim additional times in the arm and leg, she said.

When calling the authorities, the victim said “I still have visible bruises and evidence on my body of the event” and that she was “still in pain.”

Judkins went on to invoke his Miranda rights when speaking with officers and he spent the night at Fort Lauderdale Jail.

According to the arrest report, Judkins and the woman had been living together since May 2024 up until December of that same year. However, they were not in a relationship from December until June when the couple got back together.

Judkins was selected with the No. 36 overall pick in the draft and was expected to help fill a major hole in the offense after four-time Pro Bowler Nick Chubb left in the offseason.

In his last year with Ohio State, Judkins ran for 1,060 yards and scored 14 touchdowns.

If the arrest had not happened, Judkin may have found himself among the number of second-round rookies putting pen to paper recently, such as the Jets tight end Mason Taylor signing a four-year, $10.5 million contract on Friday.

The 49ers’ Alfred Collins, Bears’ Ozzy Trapilo and Chargers’ Tre Harris also recently inked deals as second-round picks as the group sought more guaranteed money.
