Overview
- Judkins underwent surgery at University Hospitals to repair a dislocated right ankle and fractured fibula, and the team confirmed there was no knee damage.
- The projected recovery window is four to five months, keeping the rookie on track for spring work and the 2026 season.
- The injury occurred late in the second quarter against Buffalo when Matt Milano tackled Judkins low near the sideline, and he was carted off as the broadcast declined to show a replay.
- With Jerome Ford already out for the year and Dylan Sampson’s status uncertain, the Browns will rely on Trayveon Williams and Raheim “Rocket” Sanders after both contributed versus the Bills.
- Judkins’ rookie year ends at 827 rushing yards and seven touchdowns in 14 games, while teammates and his mother shared public messages of support for his recovery.
