Sampson isn’t a fantasy option in his first action since the opener, but he could siphon some targets from Judkins.

Browns RBs Quinshon Judkins (ankle) and Dylan Sampson (knee) were limited in Wednesday's practice. HC Todd Monken said he's optimistic about both guys' chances of playing vs. the Titans this weekend.

Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Ravens. He only got in a limited practice on Friday and seems truly iffy for this one. RB Dylan Sampson (knee) was designated to return from IR this week but has been ruled out for Sunday’s game. With RB Raheim Sanders (hip) on IR, Judkins’ absence would leave the Browns with RBs Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime. We’ll keep you posted on Judkins’ status.

Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. His injury reportedly isn't serious, but his availability for this weekend's game vs. the Ravens is in question. RB Dylan Sampson (knee) was also sidelined on Wednesday, despite being designated to return from IR. With RB Raheim Sanders (hip) on IR, Cleveland is down to Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime as the healthy RBs on the active roster.

The Browns placed RB Raheim Sanders on IR with a hip injury suffered in Week 5. He'll miss at least the next 4 games. We don't have any info about his status beyond that, but Sanders can be dropped from all redraft rosters. Cleveland signed RB Audric Estime off the Vikings' practice squad in a corresponding roster move.

Update: Sampson has been ruled out.

Per The Athletic’s Zac Jackson, Browns RB Dylan Sampson was “heavily involved in the pass game in the just-completed week of camp.” Jackson still calls Quinshon Judkins the “clear lead back,” as expected, but adds that Sampson “seems set for a pass-game role.”

Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (leg) appears to be operating at close to 100% at OTAs this week, according to multiple members of Cleveland's media. Judkins is five months removed from suffering a fractured fibula and dislocated ankle. He's clearly on track to be ready for Week 1, and it's looking like that injury won't be a concern for his 2026 fantasy value.

Browns RB Dylan Sampson (hand) is active for today’s game vs. the Steelers. The rookie was limited in practice all week after missing Cleveland’s last two games. That adds risk to his fantasy profile, but Sampson is the best bet for touches in this Quinshon Judkins-less backfield. He tallied 12 carries and eight targets with Judkins out back in Week 1.

Browns RB Dylan Sampson (hand) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Steelers. He was limited in practice all week. The rookie has been sidelined since Week 14. If he’s able to return for this one, he’d be the best bet for touches in Cleveland’s Quinshon Judkins-less backfield and land in RB3 territory in the Week 17 rankings. We’ll look for further updates on Sampson’s status and get the Browns’ inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. If he’s out, Raheim Sanders will likely operate as the lead early-down back, with Trayveon Williams handling passing downs.

On Sunday, Sanders held the edge in carries (11-3) with Williams leading the backfield in targets (4-1). Note: Jerome Ford is on injured reserve, while rookie Dylan Sampson missed today's game with a hand injury.
