As expected, Quinshon Judkins is meeting with the NFL today. The Browns’ running back recently signed his rookie contract, paving the way for him to play in the regular season. 
Judkins did not suit up for Week 1, which came as little surprise. The second-rounder could be available on Sunday, although it remains to be seen if that will be the case. Judkins’ criminal case came to an end with charges not being pursued, but an NFL investigation into his domestic battery allegations continued after that point.
A move to the commissioner’s exempt list is unlikely, but league discipline could still result from the NFL’s investigation. Today’s in-person meeting with Judkins (h/t ESPN’s Daniel Oyefusi) will be key in determining how things will play out on that front. The 21-year-old is currently in the fold via a roster exemption which will expire after Week 2.
Judkins is expected to return to the Browns for practice tomorrow, per Oyefusi. The Ole Miss and Ohio State product missed all of training camp and the preseason as he remained unsigned, something which could lead to a reduced workload whenever he does first see the field. Nevertheless, the departure of Nick Chubb in free agency allowed for a committee approach to be used in Cleveland’s backfield. Jerome Ford received six carries in Week 1, while fourth-round rookie Dylan Sampson handled twice as many attempts.
Judkins will be expected to handle a role alongside those two when he is cleared for game action. On Sunday, the Browns will play the Ravens in a contest of 0-1 teams. How today’s meeting plays out will no doubt go a long way in dictating if he is able to make his debut at that time.
Still kind of wild when the NFL has the moral high ground over the legal system.
