Cleveland Browns running back injury crisis

Overview

The Cleveland Browns are experiencing a shortage of depth in their running back rotation due to several injuries. Initially, head coach Todd Monken described Quinshon Judkins’ ankle injury as a “tweak,” while backup Raheim Sanders was also noted to be dealing with a hip injury.

Following a 17-12 loss to the New York Jets, the situation escalated as Sanders was placed on injured reserve for at least four games. To mitigate the depleted backfield, the Browns signed Audric Estime from the Minnesota Vikings’ practice squad. Estime, a former fifth-round pick, may be expected to assist with pass protection to support quarterback Deshaun Watson.

Heading into Week 6 against the Baltimore Ravens, the depth chart remains unstable but shows signs of recovery. Quinshon Judkins has returned to practice and was observed walking without a boot or a limp, despite previously wearing one as a precaution. Additionally, Dylan Sampson has returned to practice after his 21-day window from injured reserve opened. Jaleel McLaughlin remains a key depth option if Judkins or Sampson are unavailable.
