Quinshon Judkins is set to make his NFL debut on Sunday.
The Cleveland Browns activated the rookie running back to the 53-man roster on Saturday, clearing his way toward playing in Week 2's road matchup against the Baltimore Ravens.
Judkins, who was initially listed as questionable on the team's injury report, no longer carries a game status into Sunday.
A second-round pick by the Browns, Judkins practiced with the team for the first time since minicamp this week after signing his rookie contract one week ago.
The 21-year-old was absent throughout training camp and the preseason following a July 12 arrest stemming from initial charges of domestic violence. Florida prosecutors later determined a conviction was unlikely based on numerous factors and declined to proceed with formal charges following an investigation.
Judkins met with league officials on Wednesday in New York as part the NFL's investigation into potential violations under the personal-conduct policy.
Judkins won an NCAA championship with the Buckeyes in 2024, rushing for 1,060 yards in his first and only season with Ohio State. The Browns proceeded to select him with the No. 36 overall pick in April.
Cleveland struggled to run the ball in Week 1's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, accruing just 49 rushing yards on 24 total attempts as a team.
Judkins will look to help improve those numbers against a tough defense in Baltimore.
