The Cleveland Browns are 1-1 through two games so far this season. An embarrassing loss at home to the Dallas Cowboys started their season off on a sour note. However, they got a nice bounce back win against the Jaguars in week two.

Cleveland Browns rookie defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr. pleaded no contest Thursday to a charge from a domestic altercation earlier this summer.
Hall, 21, entered the plea to the reduced charge of disorderly conduct in Ohio’s Avon Lake Municipal Court. Judge Alison Manning handed him a 30-day suspended jail sentence, a $250 fine and two years monitored time.
“I regret this whole situation,” Hall said in court, according to Cleveland.com. “I’m getting counseling and trying to better myself.”
A protection order between Hall and his fiancée was dropped at the latter’s request last week.The NFL put Hall on the commissioner’s exempt list last month as a result of the initial charge.
