The Cleveland Browns wrapped up their first preseason game against the Green Bay Packers on Saturday and are now focusing on this week’s joint practices with the Minnesota Vikings.
One player who saw significant action in the first preseason game was Mike Hall Jr., this year’s second-round pick at defensive tackle from Ohio State.
There’s much to admire about Hall’s performance on the field, and he has the potential to become the third-down defensive tackle who can pressure the quarterback, something the Browns have been seeking.
Although Hall isn’t expected to start this season, he will be part of the defensive rotation. However, an incident on Monday night could jeopardize his season plans.
Mike Hall Jr. was involved in an incident on Monday night and is expected to be arrested for a domestic violence dispute, according to Noah Weiskopf, as first reported by Zac Jackson.
The Cleveland Browns released a statement regarding Hall’s possible arrest: “We are aware of the incident involving Mike Hall Jr. last night. Mike and his representatives have been in touch with the appropriate authorities. We are in the process of gathering more information and will have no further comment at this time.”

The Browns have struggled to avoid drama in recent weeks. Amidst everything going well, the team attempted to trade Amari Cooper for San Francisco 49ers’ star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. Aiyuk declined the deal, which upset Cooper, and now the team must address the Mike Hall situation.
Cleveland Browns fans have reacted on social media, sharing their thoughts on the ongoing issues.
