Overview
- The Browns said Tuesday the rookie had successful surgery to repair a fractured fibula and dislocated ankle and moved him to injured reserve.
- He was injured on a tackle by Bills linebacker Matt Milano in Week 16, carted off, and CBS chose not to show a replay.
- Reporting from team and league sources projects a roughly four- to six-month recovery, keeping a spring return to practice in play.
- Before the injury, the second-round pick led Cleveland with 827 rushing yards and seven touchdowns, plus 26 catches for 171 yards in 14 games.
- With Judkins sidelined, Cleveland turns to Dylan Sampson and Raheim Sanders in the backfield as support and well wishes arrive from Kevin Stefanski, Deion Sanders and Mike Tomlin.
