Cleveland Browns had some Buckeye-on-Buckeye crime during camp, but Mike Hall is moving on from Quinshon Judkins' hit
Browns defensive tackle Mike Hall downplayed an on-field incident with teammate Quinshon Judkins, calling it a 'mishap' and emphasizing their continued status as teammates. Hall had missed 10 days of training camp after an injury that appeared to stem from a block by Judkins. Hall is expected to play a significant role for the Browns' defense this season
Browns defensive tackle Mike Hall and running back Quinshon Judkins had a bit of a dust up in training camp, with the incident apparently causing Hall to miss nearly three weeks of practice. Cameras captured an aggressive block by Judkins on a stumbling Hall. Rumors flew that there was more to it than that; neither the team nor Hall’s agents provided answers in response to inquiries from PFT as to whether the rumors had any merit. Regardless, Hall met with reporters on Wednesday and said that the incident is in the past. “Yeah, I mean, we’re teammates at the end of the day, so, I mean, it’s just a little, you know, mishap on the field,” Hall said. “But other than that, you know, he’s my brother, at the end of the day, he’s still my teammate. So we were getting ready to play Jacksonville and that’s what I’m worried about.” Hall was asked whether he has spoken to Judkins in an effort to clear the air. “Yeah, like I said before, he’s my teammate, so I mean, got to talk to him at some time,” Hall said. “But we’re getting ready for Jacksonville and that’s all I’m worried about.” If there was anything more to it, the Browns successfully kept it from getting out. And Hall seems to be over it

After working his way back from an ankle and fibula injury suffered in Week 16 of the 2025 season, Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins is set for a large role in 2026. Unsurprisingly, Judkins is listed as the Browns' top running back on the depth chart, with Dylan Sampson and Raheim Sanders behind him. Judkins is in line for a high-volume role in an offense led by head coach Todd Monken and offensive coordinator Travis Switzer. During his time as offensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens from 2023 through 2025, Monken's offenses had more rushing attempts than passing attempts each year. In two seasons under Monken with the Ravens, running back Derrick Henry carried the ball 325 times and 307 times, respectively. Additionally, many questions remain about Cleveland's passing game with Deshaun Watson at quarterback. While defenses may stack the box against Judkins, he faced that often as a rookie in 2025 as well. Last season, Judkins rushed 230 times for 827 yards and seven touchdowns, including 505 yards after contact, while adding 26 receptions for 171 yards. Judkins currently has a Yahoo ADP of 54.2. He ranks as RotoBaller's No. 59 overall player and No. 24 running back in half-PPR formats
Judkins didn't play in Thursday's exhibition win over New England. Judkins also missed the team's second preseason game due to an undisclosed injury, but he returned to practice this past Monday and seems to be past the issue. He ended up logging action in only the first of the Browns' exhibition contests, when he carried four times for nine yards. Judkins is the clear No. 1 RB for Cleveland and could be headed for a heavy workload on a team that may again deploy a shaky passing game
There were 11 NFL players whose stellar performance earned them inclusion on the Associated Press' All-Pro teams for the first time last season. That's nearly a quarter of the prior year's first and second teams that were turned over. With that in mind, CBS Sports explores which offensive players may be next to blossom and reach All-Pro status: Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert have yet to make an All-Pro appearance, so those are options for this category, but also not in the spirit of the exercise. The intended purpose is to project a player who has yet to reach his peak. Caleb Williams ' first season under head coach Ben Johnson was fruitful, but the encore should be even better if his offensive line protection holds up. Williams has a better understanding of the offense and has had more time to develop relationships with primary pass catchers Rome Odunze , Luther Burden III and Colston Loveland . The key for the USC product will be finding consistency while maintaining the ability to make downfield plays late in the down of which others are incapable. Six of the nine quarterbacks who were named All-Pros over the past five years were first-round picks. Williams was the No. 1 overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft . Jahmyr Gibbs is the running back most likely to be named an All-Pro who has not already been so. Although the team signed Isiah Pacheco in free agency, the trade of veteran David Montgomery feels like Gibbs taking ownership of the role in the Motor City. The franchise is hoping the arrival of new offensive coordinator Drew Petzing can re-instill some of the magic that departed with Johnson. Gibbs has accounted for 1,800-plus all-purpose yards in each of the past two years. A candle is still lit for Ashton Jeanty, and while the trio of Quinshon Judkins , Breece Hall and De'Von Achane have battled injuries, they are more than capable of ascending to this level. As you're reading this, Arizona's Jeremiyah Love is dealing with a high ankle sprain, but he has three-down capabilities, and Arizona is clearly content giving him the bulk of the carries. Feature backs may be returning to the NFL. There have been at least a dozen 1,000-yard rushers in each of the past four seasons. There had been only two such seasons dating back to 2015. Of the nine running backs named All-Pros over the past five years, eight were taken in the first or second round; Kyren Williams ( Rams ), a fifth-round pick, was the exception. The only 6-foot-4 All-Pro receiver over the past five years was Tampa Bay's Mike Evans . Drake London would buck that trend. The former USC Trojan is entering his first season with Kevin Stefanski as head coach. Aside from tight end Kyle Pitts and London, Atlanta's pass catchers are Jahan Dotson , Olamide Zaccheaus and third-round pick Zachariah Branch . If London puts together a full season -- as opposed to the five games he missed last season -- then he may finish closer to the 158 targets he accumulated in 2024; in that season, he finished fourth in receiving yards. Thirteen of 17 All-Pro receivers have been taken in the top 100. When exploring the four who were not ( Stefon Diggs , Puka Nacua , Tyreek Hill and Amon-Ra St. Brown ), two likely would have been taken earlier if not for off-field concerns (Hill) and injuries (Nacua). The Texans ' Nico Collins and the Giants ' Malik Nabers are a few others who fit the mold of a first-time All-Pro. There is one less mouth to feed in Chicago's offense with DJ Moore traded to Buffalo, but wide receivers Luther Burden III and Rome Odunze may eat away at a portion of those newfound targets. Colston Loveland tallied 58 receptions for 713 yards and six touchdowns last season. Will new opportunities lead to the requisite statistics for him to ascend to All-Pro status? Green Bay's Tucker Kraft , Cleveland's Harold Fannin Jr . and Indianapolis' Tyler Warren are also worth consideration for the list. San Francisco's George Kittle is the only All-Pro tight end over [... truncated ...]
Judkins (undisclosed) took part in team drills at Tuesday's practice session, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. Judkins got some work in at Monday's session after missing time last week with an unspecified minor injury, and he was able to work alongside the rest of the group a day later. As such, consider him back at full speed moving forward

Judkins (undisclosed) returned to practice Monday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. Judkins missed the final two practices of last week before sitting out Saturday's preseason loss to the Bills due to what coach Todd Monken described as "a little something nagging, nothing big," per Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site. Even though he's mixing back into drills, Judkins may be eased in with Week 1 still roughly three weeks on the horizon
Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins returned to practice Monday after missing the final two practices last week and sitting out Saturday's preseason game. Head coach Todd Monken described the issue as 'a little something nagging' but not significant. Judkins led the Browns with 827 rushing yards and seven touchdowns as a rookie
Judkins (undisclosed) is not expected to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Bills, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports. Judkins missed consecutive training camp practices earlier this week while recovering from an undisclosed issue. It looks like he'll observe Saturday's exhibition game in street clothes, and it's unclear whether he'll suit up for the Browns' preseason finale against the Patriots on Thursday. Judkins' absence means Dylan Sampson will lead the Browns' backfield against the Bills, with Raheim Sanders, Ahmani Marshall and Davon Booth also in the mix for reps
Quinshon Judkins is dealing with a nagging injury and has not practiced over the last couple of days, but the team is not particularly concerned about his availability going forward
Judkins (undisclosed) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. Judkins has been absent for back-to-back practices due to an unspecified injury that has previously been described as minor. His status for Saturday's preseason tilt against the Bills has yet to be determined at this point. Judkins is locked in as Cleveland's top backfield option on early downs, though fellow second-year pro Dylan Sampson figures to get some opportunities in passing situations
Quinshon Judkins misses second straight practice, availability remains open question

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins was not practicing Wednesday due to an undisclosed reason, coming one day after a physical Tuesday session
With the Minnesota Vikings ' decision to roll with Kyler Murray over J.J. McCarthy and Michael Penix Jr . still sidelined as he recovers from a torn ACL, the NFL world has one quarterback battle to zero in on. The Cleveland Browns are evaluating whether Deshaun Watson or Shedeur Sanders should be their starting signal-caller, and the battle has now drifted into the preseason. Watson has been a disaster since Cleveland traded for him four years ago. The Browns signed him to a five-year, $230 million fully guaranteed deal, and he responded by posting the worst completion percentage, yards per attempt and TD-INT ratio in the NFL since leaving the Texans . It has been more than 2,000 days since Watson threw for 300 yards in an NFL game. The retired Tom Brady has 14 300-yard games since Watson's last one. There is just one year remaining on Watson's contract, but he hasn't played in a regular-season game since Oct. 20, 2024, due to two torn Achilles. Sanders, on the other hand, sparked some optimism after the benchings of Joe Flacco and Dillon Gabriel last year. He won three of Cleveland's five games and made the Pro Bowl as an alternate. However, Sanders' 10 interceptions since his NFL debut in Week 11 were the most in the NFL, and his 57% completion percentage ranked second-worst. As a prospect, Sanders was criticized for holding onto the ball too long and having a slow throwing operation. Those issues definitely showed up during his rookie season. These quarterbacks received the majority of reps during the Browns' first preseason game , a 34-10 loss to the Bears in Chicago. Let's examine how they fared. Watson played the entire first half for the Browns and completed 11 of 15 passes for 126 yards. He was sacked once, resulting in a fumble, and scrambled three times for four yards. Head coach Todd Monken didn't allow Watson to throw the ball on Cleveland's first possession, as three straight Quinshon Judkins runs resulted in a three-and-out. But Watson led a field goal drive on Cleveland's second possession. He hit Jerry Jeudy on a 14-yard in-breaking route, then followed up his first big play with a 15-yard completion to rookie Denzel Boston on third-and-5. The possession only ended because Harold Fannin Jr . dropped an easy conversion on third down. Watson then led a 10-play, 81-yard drive that resulted in a touchdown from rookie KC Concepcion , who punched in an end-around from 14 yards out. Dylan Sampson sparked the drive, turning a short reception into a 43-yard gain to the other side of the field. In all, Watson looked OK through three possessions. Then things went downhill. On Cleveland's next possession, Bears pass rusher Jamree Kromah got to Watson during his throwing motion, knocked the ball loose and then recovered the fumble. Maybe the quarterback doesn't deserve all the blame here, but it was an ugly-looking blooper during which Watson fell forward while the pigskin fluttered backward. Jamree Kromah forces and recovers the fumble! CLEvsCHI on @nflnetwork Stream on @NFLPlus pic.twitter.com/4N2OKC5Yut To make matters worse, the Browns offense went three-and-out on its next two possessions to end the first half while Chicago scored 10 unanswered points to tie the game heading into the break. You didn't come away from the first half feeling like Watson was the favorite to win the starting quarterback job. And then the second half happened. 3 plays 8 yards Punt 7 plays 25 yards Field goal 10 plays 81 yards Touchdown 6 plays 15 yards Fumble 3 plays 8 yards Punt 3 plays 6 yards Punt Sanders came out firing to begin the third quarter. On the first play from scrimmage, he found Gage Larvadain off play action for a gain of 24 yards.

The miscue appeared to be on him, but Cleveland recovered the loose ball. A couple of p [... truncated ...]
Judkins carried the ball four times for nine yards in Saturday's 34-10 preseason loss to the Bears. The second-year back got the start for the Browns but only played the first quarter before calling it a day. Judkins is the clear top dog in the backfield, and after gaining 998 scrimmage yards on 256 touches over 14 regular-season games as a rookie, the 2025 second-round pick is expected to take on a larger workload in 2026 under new head coach Todd Monken
