Cleveland Browns defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr. was handed down a five game suspension with four games already retroactively served, the league announced on Tuesday.
According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, Hall Jr. will be eligible to get reinstated to the Cleveland Browns by Oct. 7. He was already on the Commissioner Exempt List to start the season after he was arrested for domestic violence in August of this year. Because of those games served, he has one game left to sit out before he can return to action.
The NFL suspended Mike Hall Jr. of the Cleveland Browns five games without pay for a violation of the Personal Conduct Policy.
