Quinshon JudkinsRBCLE
Ankle injury (not tightrope procedure) occurred later in season than Barkley's week 8 injury; surgery completed just before Christmas, providing roughly two-thirds of offseason for recovery before week 1. Will start week one and play week one. Recovery of lateral side-to-side agility and explosiveness will take additional time beyond week one. Injury was less severe than Barkley's from a tissue damage standpoint, with no deltoid ligament involvement. Ron Stewart reports more optimism about Judkins' recovery trajectory compared to Barkley, with positive clips emerging from training. Initial injury appearance looked severe (Tank Dell-level) but proved less career-threatening than feared.
