CLEVELAND (AP) — Quinshon Judkins was carted off with a right leg injury late in the second quarter of the Cleveland Browns game against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
The rookie running back suffered the injury after catching a swing pass from Shedeur Sanders on second-and-6 at the Browns 44.
Judkins was quickly hit low at the 38 by Bills linebacker Matt Milano for a 6-yard loss. Judkins was pounding his hands on his helmets and in discomfort after being hit.
Officials originally ruled that Judkins had fumbled the ball and Buffalo linebacker Terrel Bernard ran it back for a touchdown, but replay reversed it to Judkins being down by contact.
Judkins, a second-round pick out of Ohio State, came into the game leading NFL rookies with 784 rushing yards and tied for first with seven rushing touchdowns. He had eight carries for 22 yards before being injured.
Sanders came out in the second quarter for one play with what looked like a bloody pinker finger on his right throwing hand.

BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) — Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes could be out for “a while” after pulling up with an injury against Aston Villa on Sunday.
United coach Ruben Amorim said Fernandes had sustained a soft tissue injury in the first half of the Premier League game at Villa Park. Villa won 2-1.
“I think it’s soft tissues, so it’s going to take a while. We’ll see," Amorim said.
Fernandes appeared to hurt his hamstring when pulling up.
He played on until the break but was replaced by Lisandro Martinez for the start of the second half.
Fernandes was then seen walking uncomfortably along the sideline as he made his way to the bench for the second half.
“During this year, especially in this time, we have so many problems, but we have to cope with that,” Amorim said.
United is already without Bryan Mbeumo, Amad Diallo and Noussair Mazraoui, who are playing in the Africa Cup of Nations. Amorim's options were further depleted on Sunday, with midfielder Kobbie Mainoo ruled out with a calf injury picked up in training.
Mainoo would have been the obvious replacement for Fernandes.
Even before Fernandes' injury, Amorim said Mainoo's absence was bad timing.
“He is going to be fine in a few weeks, I think, I don’t know," Amorim said. "Let’s focus on the players that we have and are ready to play."
