Browns RB Quinshon Judkins suffers fractured fibula, dislocated ankle in loss to Bills

Judkins was injured just before halftime in the Browns' Week 16 matchup against the Bills

Cleveland Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins was carted off the field shortly before halftime of the team's eventual 23-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills after suffering a serious right leg injury. Kevin Stefanski told reporters that Judkins fractured his fibula and dislocated his ankle, per ESPN. His first NFL season is over.

Judkins suffered his injury while attempting to make a catch in the backfield when Bills linebacker Matt Milano hit him low. The CBS broadcast team elected not to air the replay of the injury. 

The No. 36 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft out of Ohio State had rushed eight times for 22 yards, and caught five passes for a game-high 29 yards before exiting the game. Judkins was Cleveland's leading rusher this season, having rushed for 805 yards and seven touchdowns in 13 games played entering Sunday.

Raheim Sanders and Trayveon Williams replaced Judkins at running back and were effective for Shedeur Sanders. Raheim rushed for 42 yards on 11 carries, while Williams rushed three times for 17 yards, and led all receivers with four catches for 38 yards.
