In the third quarter, Judkins was hit and stayed down on the ground. He initially went to the sideline, tried to come back in, and was sent off again by the referees.
The fact that he tried to return, and Judkins was sent back to the medical tent by the officials, suggests that the rookie running back is getting looked at for a possible concussion.
Here is the latest update on Judkins as the Browns take on the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12.
