Cleveland Browns Distancing From Quinshon Judkins After Arrest?
However, the circumstances surrounding Judkins have changed since the Browns made him the 36th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Namely, because the former Ohio State Buckeyes running back was arrested on July 12 and charged with domestic assault and battery.
Interestingly enough, the Browns have yet to sign Judkins to his rookie contract, which means he won't be participating in training camp when rookies report on July 18. Which, according to Cleveland.com's Browns expert Mary Kay Cabot, the team is in 'no rush' to sign Judkins to his contract after his recent arrest.
Moreso, the Browns have 'stressed' that Judkins makes his domestic incident the highest priority over football right now.
'But the Browns are taking their time investigating what transpired between Judkins, 21, and his then-girlfriend, before they turn their attention to getting him signed and on the football field. The woman told Fort Lauderdale police that he punched her in the mouth/chin area with a closed fist, and that she was still in pain with visible bruises five days later when she reported the incident.'
Mary Kay Cabot on Quinshon Judkins
Last year, Browns second-round pick Mike Hall Jr, also from Ohio State, was placed on paid leave after his domestic violence incident. Yet, his situation was different, since he had already signed his rookie contract with the Browns.
In addition to Ford, the Browns also have rookie fourth-round selection Dylan Sampson, Pierre Strong, and Ahmani Marshall competing for snaps at running back. Though, depending on the status of Judkins, they may want to consider adding another rusher before camp opens.

DoJ to meet with Ghislaine Maxwell as Trump faces new scrutiny over Epstein ties
Ghislaine Maxwell, the imprisoned sex trafficker linked to dead financier Jeffrey Epstein, is meeting with justice department officials – including Todd Blanche, the deputy attorney general who will see if Maxwell 'has information about anyone who has committed crimes against victims'. The announcement of Maxwell's meetings with justice department officials come as the Trump administration faces backlash from Democrats and Trump supporters alike for its recent handling of the Epstein case. In early July, the justice department and the FBI announced that they will not be releasing any further Epstein-related documents and further said that there is 'no incriminating 'client list''. 'We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties,' the justice department said. FBI officials also determined that Epstein indeed died by suicide. The administration's attempts to place a lid on the Epstein case have been met with criticism, including from members of Congress who have pushed for votes to compel the administration to release documents related to the case. There will likely not be a vote before the August recess, Politico reports, due to leading Republican resistance during congressional meetings. Last week, Trump directed attorney general Pam Bondi to ask a court to release all relevant grand jury testimony in Epstein's case. The grand jury testimony could reveal previously-unknown information but it is not likely to include tremendous revelations since, often, prosecutors provide limited information to a grand jury only to secure an indictment. Maxwell, who was convicted of sex trafficking underage girls for Epstein in December 2021, will reportedly be negotiating with the government. She is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in Epstein's abuse of children. 'I can confirm that we are in discussions with the government and that Ghislaine will always testify truthfully,' her attorney, David Oscar Markus, told CNN. On Tuesday morning, Blanche also released a statement saying that he plans to meet with Maxwell 'in the coming days'. It is unclear what the terms of Maxwell's discussions will be or if she will agree to be a cooperating witness with the justice department. It's also unclear what benefit she may gain from cooperating with the government. Typically, cooperating witnesses receive certain benefits for working with the government, including visas, reduced sentences and, at times, government protection. 'For the first time, the Department of Justice is reaching out to Ghislaine Maxwell to ask: what do you know?' Blanche posted on X (formerly Twitter). Trump has also been in the crosshairs of the Epstein dilemma, due to his past ties to the financier. Epstein once said he was Trump's 'closest friend'. Additionally, the Wall Street Journal reported last week that Trump allegedly sent a 'bawdy' letter to Epstein in 2003. Trump sued the Wall Street Journal and its owners, and the paper was later banned from participating in the press pool during Trump's upcoming trip to Scotland. Alan Dershowitz, who was an attorney for Epstein, recently said that Maxwell would be willing to testify during an interview with Fox News, if offered immunity. 'She knows everything, she is the Rosetta Stone,' Dershowitz said. 'If she were just given 'use immunity,' she could be compelled to testify. I'm told that she actually would be willing to testify.' In a separate interview with Real America's Voice, Dershowitz said that Maxwell should not be in prison. 'She is really serving Jeffrey Epstein's sentence,' Dershowitz said. 'After he committed suicide, there was no one else to prosecute 'cause there was no real information against anybody else. And so they went after her and they sentenced her to the sentence that would have been appropriate for Epstein, but not at all appropriate for her.' 'She deserves to be out,' he added.

Jim Harbaugh's quirky Chargers training camp move became an instant meme
Jim Harbaugh is a social media superstar, not because he's online all the time -- that'd be wild given that he's an NFL coach -- but because fans love to focus on the quirky guy at the helm of the Los Angeles Chargers (I don't know, maybe it's because of the khakis). The latest piece of Jim Harbaugh weirdness? There's a clip of him at Chargers training camp looking through a curtain like he's peeping at practice. Why? Why ask why? It's just Jim Harbaugh, right? This isn't out of line for him. But of course, the clip became our first meme of 2025 NFL training camps, with folks putting funny captions under the shot of him looking through the curtain. Here's a sampling of what we saw as Chargers training camp kicks off this week: This article originally appeared on For The Win: Jim Harbaugh meme pops up from quirky move at Chargers training camp
