Dawgs By Nature
There are two big stories surrounding the Cleveland Browns vs the Baltimore Ravens in Week 2 of the 2025 NFL season. The first is mostly off the field, with the Ravens celebrating 30 years since they stole a team from Cleveland while playing the team from Cleveland.
The second is RB Quinshon Judkins.
Last Saturday, the Browns signed Judkins, their second-round pick in this year’s NFL draft, after finding common ground on a contract. Judkins had charges filed against him in Florida just before the start of training camp then those charges were not pursued near the end of training camp.
Cleveland was given a two-week roster exemption to get Judkins ramped up to play, which meant he would be on the roster for Week 4 at the latest. Instead, according to multiple reports on Saturday, Judkins will be suiting up in Week 3:
Among fans and media, there were some questions about whether Judkins should play this week as concerns for injury, based on his time away from the team, are real.
The Browns will have to make a roster move official on Saturday in order to activate Judkins. That player will either be waived (if less than four years of experience) or outright released the day before the Ravens matchup. It is unlikely that Judkins will be prepared for a full workload on Sunday, but having their bellcow back should help a running game that struggled in Week 1.
What do you think about the Judkins news? Should the Browns have been more cautious or is Week 2 that much of a must-win?
