Browns rookie RB Quinshon Judkins arrested on domestic violence charge 7 days before training camp kicks off

Cleveland Browns rookie RB, Quinshon Judkins was arrested on Saturday in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, by Fort Lauderdale Police and booked by the Broward County Sheriff’s Office.

Quinshon was charged with “touch or strike/battery/domestic violence," which is a first-degree misdemeanor under Florida law. No bond has been set, and his trial date is pending. He is set to appear in court on Sunday.

The Browns are aware of the situation and are “gathering information."

Judkins was expected to compete for the starting RB role after Nick Chubb’s departure. If found guilty, he could face a six-game suspension under the NFL’s Personal Conduct Policy.

Quinshon was drafted with the 36th pick in the 2025 NFL draft. He starred at Ole Miss and Ohio State. Quinshon rushed for a combined 3,785 yards and 45 TDs. He helped lead Ohio State to the 2024 national championship.

The arrest comes just days before Browns' training camp, which will begin at the CrossCountry Mortgage Campus in Berea, Ohio.

Rookies will report on July 18, and the veteran players will arrive on July 22.

Fans can attend open practices from July 25 to August 4. Some practices will start at 2:00 p.m. (on July 25, 28, 29, and August 1, 4), while others will begin at 9:30 a.m. (on July 26, 30, and August 2).

The Browns will also have joint practices with the Panthers on August 6 in Carolina and with the Eagles on August 13 and 14 in Philadelphia.
