Browns running back Quinshon Judkins takes questions from reporters during rookie minicamp, Friday, May 9, 2025, in Berea.

Cleveland Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins is expected to make his NFL debut on Sunday against the host Baltimore Ravens, ESPN announced Saturday morning.

An early second-round pick in this year's draft, Judkins signed his four-year, $11.4 million rookie contract last Saturday after an investigation into an alleged domestic violence incident in July in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

Judkins was accused of punching a woman in the face, arm and thigh, but prosecutors announced in August that they would not be moving forward with the case.

He was listed as questionable to play against the Ravens after participating in practice on both Thursday and Friday.

Judkins, 21, rushed for 1,060 yards and 14 touchdowns and caught 22 passes for 161 yards and two TDs in 16 games last season as Ohio State won the College Football Playoff national championship.

He rushed for 3,785 yards and 45 touchdowns, adding 442 receiving yards and five more scores over three seasons at Ole Miss (2022-23) and Ohio State (2024).

The Browns mustered just 49 rushing yards on 24 carries in the season-opening 17-16 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals last Sunday. Rookie running back Dylan Sampson led the way with 29 yards.
