Overview
- Through the first two games of the 2026 season Judkins has 54 yards on 24 carries, an average of about 2.3 yards per carry, and his longest rush is nine yards.
- Head coach Todd Monken publicly assigned responsibility to scheme, coaching, play-calling and blocking after the Week 2 loss, saying the staff must 'scheme it better' and 'call it better.'
- The Browns have averaged just 65.5 rushing yards per game, finished Week 2 with 44 rushing yards on 23 attempts, and remain without a rushing touchdown this season.
- Injury to backup running back Dylan Sampson has reduced depth and left the team more dependent on Judkins ahead of the Sept. 27 home opener against Carolina.
- Deshaun Watson’s efficient passing has masked the shortfall so far, but the team’s offensive-line turnover and Judkins’ recovery from a 2025 leg injury raise questions about whether the problems are temporary or structural.
