Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins will be a full go at the start of training camp seven months after undergoing surgery to repair a dislocated ankle and fractured fibula, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
Judkins suffered the season-ending injury in the second quarter of a Week 16 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
"I feel good," Judkins said in a YouTube video posted on his channel earlier this week. "Right now, I'm just cleaning everything up, sharpening my tools, and getting to where I want to be based on the goals I set at the beginning of the season and when I was done with rehab."
He added, "My ankle feels good. It feels strong. I'm going to keep building on it. I feel like that's what's most important - continuing to build, staying motivated, and getting to the point where I want to be."
Judkins was selected in the second round of the 2025 draft out of Ohio State. He started 14 games as a rookie, posting 827 yards on 230 carries and seven touchdowns. He also added 26 receptions and 171 yards as a receiver. Judkins' 3.2 yards after contact per rush ranked seventh among all running backs with at least 200 carries, according to TruMedia.
The 22-year-old is projected to be a bell-cow back for whoever wins the starting quarterback job between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders. Cleveland also rosters running backs Dylan Sampson and Raheim Sanders.
Cleveland will report to camp July 28 and face the Jacksonville Jaguars in its regular-season opener Sept. 13.
