NFL Likely to Wait for Legal Process Before Deciding on Quinshon Judkins’ Suspension, No Expected Games Missed in 2025

The NFL typically takes a wait-and-see approach when it comes to issuing its own punishment for players facing legal issues. The league generally waits for the legal process to run its course before making any disciplinary decisions, meaning that if Quinshon Judkins were to sign with the Cleveland Browns, he likely wouldn’t miss any games due to a suspension in the 2025 season, at least not until the legal matter is fully resolved.

Judkins, a highly regarded player known for his skills on the field, is currently under scrutiny due to an off-field incident that has raised questions regarding his potential punishment. However, past precedents suggest that the NFL will refrain from taking action until the legal system has dealt with the case. This means that while the legal situation plays out, Judkins may not face any immediate suspension or restrictions from the NFL, allowing him to participate in training camp and preseason games, as well as regular-season matchups, should he sign with the Browns.

The Browns have reportedly expressed interest in bringing Judkins to their team, but the situation could evolve depending on how the legal process unfolds. The NFL’s decision to act would come only after the conclusion of that process. As a result, the timing of any potential suspension or discipline would be contingent on how long the legal matter takes to resolve and what outcomes arise from it.

In the meantime, Judkins will continue to focus on his career, and the Browns will likely hope to see the situation resolved quickly so they can proceed without the uncertainty of potential missed games.
