"My heart stopped": Quinshon Judkins' mom Teva heartbroken over Browns RB's devastating leg injury

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins suffered a serious leg injury in Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. In the second quarter, Judkins was tackled low by Bills linebacker Matt Milano while catching a screen pass. Judkins needed to be carted off the field, and it was later confirmed that the rookie RB's season was cut short because he dislocated his ankle and fractured his fibula.

When Judkins suffered his injury on Sunday, his mother, Teva, tweeted her feelings after catching a glimpse of a video montage that "Barstool Cleveland" shared for the RB on X.

As I watched him lie on the ground, my heart stopped… as football moms, we always know that there is a possibility of an injury but when it actually happens, you are not prepared for the flood of emotions you feel. This was 1st major injury ever so I am very thankful that I was there and am here to support him as a mom!!! This too shall pass and Q will be back out there busting into the end zone soon," Teva tweeted.

Teva also thanked everyone who sent their well-wishes and support to Judkins for his recovery.

The Browns took Judkins in the second round of this year's NFL draft. He won the national title at Ohio State in his final collegiate season.

Despite the Browns' overall struggles, Quinshon Judkins was one of the bright spots in their offense.

In his cut-short rookie season, Judkins posted 827 yards and seven touchdowns on 230 carries. He also added 171 yards on 26 receptions.

The Browns have yet to announce a timeline for Judkins' return, but they will hope that the RB can get healthy before the start of the 2026 season.
