Cleveland Browns

Cleveland Browns rookie defensive lineman Michael Hall Jr. has been turning heads throughout the early stages of his rookie season. However, bad news has broken this morning regarding Hall.

According to a report from Zac Jackson of The Athletic, Hall is expected to be arrested following a domestic dispute on Monday night.

To this point in time, no other details have been made available about the situation or what exactly went down.

Hall is a former Ohio State Buckeyes star and was expected to carve out a role for himself as a rookie with the Browns. He has even recently been referred to as having "Aaron Donald" kinds of skill.

Standing in at 6-foot-3 and 300 pounds, the 21-year-old defensive tackle was beginning to look like a player that could become a starter early on during his career. That could all change now.

During the 2023 college football season with Ohio State, Hall ended up recording 24 total tackles to go along with 1.5 sacks.

Expect to hear more details about Hall's situation in the near future. No one should rush to judgement just yet, but this is a very serious situation. As updates become available, we'll make sure to have them for you.

For right now, however, the news is simply that Hall is expected to be arrested in the near future. The situation does not sound good at all and this could have a major impact on Cleveland's defense.

Regardless of what happens on the field, hopefully the truth is found out and the right things are done regarding this situation.
