The Cleveland Browns have had a horrible start to their season, only winning one game through the first four weeks, and one of their young players has yet to see the field this season.
This past April, the Cleveland Browns drafted Ohio State defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr. in the second round, and he was having a nice training camp. Still, an off-the-field domestic violence arrest led him to be put on the commissioner-exempt list at the end of August.
Cleveland Browns Mike Hall Gets Suspended For Five Games
According to Mary Kay Cabot from Cleveland.com, “Browns rookie defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr. has been suspended five games by the NFL under its Personal Conduct Policy and is eligible for reinstatement Monday, October 7, the league announced on Tuesday.”

Since Hall has been on the exempt list through the first four games, those count towards the five-game suspension; Hall will only have to miss one more game this season, which is this week’s game against Washington.
The Browns need all the help they can get on defense, and maybe when Hall returns in two weeks, he can spark a defensive line that has gotten old this season.
The defense has not looked like itself, which was stopping the run and making big-time tackles last season, and maybe they need some youth to come in and help one of the oldest rosters in the NFL.
Cleveland has to figure something out on both sides of the ball now, or they will not make the playoffs, and it will be another lost season.
