Cleveland Browns’ running back Quinshon Judkins may end up losing his career.
According to the Broward Sheriff’s Office, the former Ohio State Buckeye running back was arrested in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
On Saturday, Fort Lauderdale officers responded to West Cypress Creek Road in response to a delayed battery, police said. Officers spoke with the victim, and the preliminary investigation revealed a battery had occurred.
Fort Lauderdale Police said they made contact with Judkins and placed him into custody. Judkins has been charged with misdemeanor battery (domestic).
More information has since come out in the days afterward, and it is not looking good.
The woman in question said that she and Judkins were in a relationship and lived together in May 2024, but they did not have a relationship from December 2024 to June 2025.
Quinshon Judkins allegedly punched her in the mouth during an argument inside his Lamborghini SUV. The accuser told police he punched her with a closed fist in the chin/lip area and later struck her in the left arm and thigh while they were in the car, leaving the airport on July 7.
The victim appeared to have injuries, according to the arrest affidavit. The incident report allegedly has photos of bruising.

Judkins, who is in his first season with the Browns after being drafted with the 36th overall pick in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, is coming off a junior season in which he led Ohio State to the College Football Playoff National Championship this past year.
The 221-pound Judkins led the Buckeyes with 1,060 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns in 2024.
Judkins, who Cleveland selected 36th overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, has yet to sign his rookie contract.
This now creates uncertainty surrounding his availability for training camp and his rookie contract negotiations.
On Monday, Zac Jackson of the Athletic joined 92.3 The Fan’s Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima to discuss how the timing of Judkins’ arrest couldn’t be worse for him.
“This contract situation… means he could be in limbo, and he could end up missing valuable training camp time for multiple reasons.” Jackson noted. “In these situations, the NFL begins investigating immediately.”
“Certainly him not being under contract adds a layer of mystery and potential complication in terms of him being on the field if the Browns have qualms or if there is a drawn-out legal process,” Jackson added.
