Overview
- Judkins signed a four-year, approximately $11 million rookie contract on Sept. 6 after being the last Browns draft pick to finalize a deal.
- The NFL granted a two-week roster exemption, allowing him to practice without counting against the 53-man roster until he is activated for a game.
- He met in person with league officials in Manhattan on Wednesday as the NFL continues a personal-conduct review independent of the declined criminal case in Florida.
- Coach Kevin Stefanski said Judkins’ availability for Sunday at Baltimore is uncertain, with the team planning practices Thursday and Friday to decide after only a two-day ramp.
- Cleveland released practice-squad RB Trayveon Williams as Judkins returns to a backfield that struggled in Week 1 and currently leans on Jerome Ford, rookie Dylan Sampson and Raheim Sanders.
