Cleveland Browns rookie defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr. has been suspended for five games by the NFL for violating the league’s Personal Conduct Policy. This decision stems from Hall’s legal issues earlier in the year. He was arrested in August 2024 on domestic violence charges following an altercation with his fiancée, which resulted in accusations of threatening her with a firearm. However, Hall later pleaded no contest to a lesser charge of disorderly conduct, receiving a 30-day suspended jail sentence, a $250 fine, and two years of probation【6†source】【7†source】.

Initially placed on the NFL’s Commissioner’s Exempt List, Hall remained ineligible to play or practice. Now, with his suspension confirmed, he will miss games against the Commanders, Eagles, Bengals, Ravens, and Chargers. After the Browns’ bye week in Week 10, Hall will be eligible to return for their Week 11 game against the New Orleans Saints【6†source】【7†source】.
