Cleveland Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins was placed on injured reserve following successful surgery Tuesday to repair a fractured fibula and ankle dislocation.

Judkins sustained the injury in the second quarter of Sunday’s 23-20 home loss to the Buffalo Bills, coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters after the game.

Judkins was tackled by Bills linebacker Matt Milano with two minutes left in the first half. He caught a pass from Shedeur Sanders and was immediately met by Milano, resulting in a 6-yard loss. The play was originally ruled a fumble that was recovered by Buffalo linebacker Terrel Bernard.

Judkins, 22, was planting his right foot on the ground as he was hit. A trainer applied an air cast and the injury was so graphic that the CBS broadcast did not show a replay. Judkins had to be carted to the locker room.

The second-round pick from Ohio State had 51 yards (22 rushing, 29 receiving) on Sunday, leaving him just shy of 1,000 yards from scrimmage. He finished with 998 yards (827 rushing, 171 receiving) and seven rushing touchdowns in 14 games (all starts).
