Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson exited the team's Week 1 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars during the first quarter due to a knee injury. He was evaluated in the blue medical tent before walking to the locker room under his own power. Prior to his departure, Sampson recorded two kick returns for 64 yards but had not registered an offensive touch. His status to return to the game is currently listed as questionable. With Sampson unavailable, the team is expected to rely on starter Quinshon Judkins for early-down work, while Raheim Sanders may see an increased role in the backfield.
