What happened to Quinshon Judkins? Cleveland rookie stretchered off with horror injury
The Cleveland Browns slipped to a 3-12 record with defeat against the Buffalo Bills and suffered a major injury blow.
Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins suffered a significant injury on Sunday, almost certainly bringing his impressive rookie season to an end.
Shortly before halftime in the Browns’ 23-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills, Judkins attempted to catch a backfield pass under intense pressure. Bills linebacker Matt Milano hit him with a heavy tackle, resulting in a serious right leg injury for Judkins.
The Browns’ medical team immediately entered to offer assistance and Judkins was carted from the field with his right leg in an air cast. Broadcaster CBS decided not to show a replay of the incident, indicating the seriousness of the injury.
