The rookie defensive tackle made impactful plays for Cleveland's defense in his first career start Sunday, stepping in for the injured Shelby Harris (elbow). Hall recorded his first NFL sack while also tallying a career-best five total tackles.

Hall (knee) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's Week 15 contest against Kansas City, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. Updating a previous report. Hall is no longer questionable for Sunday's game after being activated off injured reserve Saturday. The rookie defensive lineman is set to return from a four-game absence and will likely serve in a rotational on defense while also contributing on special teams.
The Browns activated Hall (knee) off injured reserve Saturday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. Hall landed on IR due to a knee injury Nov. 16 and has since missed the required four games. He remains questionable for Sunday's Week 15 matchup against Kansas City but seems likely to play given his activation and an LP/LP/FP practice progression this week. If Hall does play Sunday, he would likely serve in the same rotational role he was holding down prior to his injury.
Hall (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports. Hall must still be activated to Cleveland's active roster in order to play Sunday; however, he appears to be trending toward suiting up after upgrading to a full practice session Friday. If the rookie defensive tackle is sidelined for the fifth consecutive game in Week 15, expect Jowon Briggs to serve as the Browns' top backup interior defensive lineman.
The Browns announced Wednesday that Hall (knee) has been designated for return from IR. Hall now has a 21-day window wherein he can be monitored at practice without counting against the 53-man roster. The rookie second-round pick has been sidelined due to a knee injury since Week 9. In four appearances this season, Hall has totaled five tackles (two solo).
The Browns placed Hall (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. Hall suffered a knee injury during Thursday's practice, and it's serious enough to warrant a multi-week absence, per Oyefusi. Hall will be forced to sit for at least the next four regular-season games, making Week 15 against the Chiefs on Sunday, Dec. 15 the earliest he can return.
Hall (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Hall popped up as a limited participant on Cleveland's injury report Thursday, and he downgraded to a DNP at Friday's practice due to a knee issue. The 2024 second-round pick has recorded just five total tackles across four appearances this season. Expect Maurice Hurst to see additional work as the Browns' only backup interior defensive lineman Sunday.
Cleveland activated Hall (suspension) on Saturday, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports. Hall missed the first five games of the campaign as a result of an NFL suspension for violating the league's personal conduct policy. The defensive lineman is now finished with that punishment and appears to be in line to make his NFL debut Sunday. Hall, who was selected in the second round of April's NFL Draft, will likely play a rotational role along the Browns' defensive line.
Hall's suspension was lifted Monday, but the Browns were granted a one-game roster exemption, giving the team a deadline of Monday, Oct. 14 to reinstate him to the active roster or otherwise release him, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. Hall has opened the 2024 season with a five-game suspension and now that the Browns have completed those five contests, he can return to the practice field. The team will have the ability to evaluate him at practice during the week and add him to the active roster before Sunday's matchup with the Eagles. The Browns took Hall in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft after a successful collegiate career at Ohio State and he'll now finally be able to make his professional debut.
