Overview

• Head coach Kevin Stefanski said he does not know if Judkins will play Sunday, citing the need to evaluate him through this week’s practices.
• Judkins received a two-week roster exemption that covers the NFL’s interview and review process and gives him time to ramp up after missing camp and Week 1.
• The NFL plans to meet with Judkins this week regarding his July arrest; prosecutors declined to file criminal charges in August.
• Cleveland released running back Trayveon Williams as Judkins rejoined the team, with Jerome Ford and rookie Dylan Sampson comprising the rest of the backfield.
• Judkins, the No. 36 pick, signed a four-year, $11 million rookie contract as the Browns eye him as a potential bell-cow back to boost a rushing attack that gained 49 yards in a 17–16 Week 1 loss.
