A suspension has been handed down for Cleveland Browns rookie defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr.
On Tuesday, the Browns announced that the NFL has suspended Hall five games without pay for violating the league’s Personal Conduct Policy following his August arrest on domestic violence charges.
Hall, 21, was placed on the Commissioner’s Exempt List on Aug. 27 following his arrest, making him ineligible to practice and play in the Browns’ first four games of the season. The four missed games will be credited to his suspension, in accordance with the Personal Conduct Policy. That means Hall is eligible to be return on Oct. 7 ahead of the Browns’ Week 6 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Hall was arrested Aug 13. in Avon, Ohio following a domestic dispute with his fiancee, the Avon Police Department confirmed to the Akron Beacon Journal, part of the USA TODAY Network. According to the police report, Hall’s fiancee claims he “retrieved one of his two handguns” and “pressed the firearm against her temple” after the two got into an argument over the financial need of her daughter.
