Browns' Judkins facing domestic violence charge

Cleveland Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins was arrested on a domestic violence and battery charge in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on Saturday, according to the Fort Lauderdale Police Department and Broward County arrest records.

A bond amount was not immediately set for the 21-year-old Judkins, who was in jail as of Saturday night and scheduled to have his initial court appearance Sunday morning. The charge is described as "touch or strike/battery/domestic violence," according to the arrest record.

The charge is a misdemeanor, Fort Lauderdale Police Sgt. David Soika told ESPN.

Soika said officers responded to a residence at approximately 9 a.m. ET on Saturday and determined battery had occurred after which they made contact with Judkins and took him into custody.

The Browns said they are "aware and gathering more details," according to a team spokesperson. The NFL is "aware of the matter but will decline further comment," a league official told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Cleveland selected Judkins, a former Ole Miss and Ohio State standout, with the No. 36 pick in the 2025 draft. He is the lone member of the Browns' seven-player draft who has not signed his rookie contract.

Browns rookies report for training camp Friday.
