Overview
- Judkins was arrested on July 12 in Fort Lauderdale and faces a Broward County misdemeanor charge of touch or strike battery domestic violence under Florida statute 784.03.
- He remains in Broward County jail with no bond set and is awaiting a trial date that could carry up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
- A Cleveland Browns spokesperson confirmed the team is gathering information to determine Judkins’s roster status as the legal process unfolds.
- The NFL is monitoring the case under its personal conduct policy, which prescribes at least a six-game suspension if Judkins is convicted or disciplined by the league.
- Chosen 37th overall in April’s draft to succeed Nick Chubb, Judkins is the only unsigned member of Cleveland’s 2025 class and his absence would reshape the Browns’ planned backfield rotation.
