Browns HC Kevin Stefanski said DT Mike Hall Jr. is likely to miss an extended period after suffering a knee injury and could be placed on injured reserve, per Scott Petrak.
Placing Hall on injured reserve will cause him to miss a minimum of four weeks as he recovers.
This would be an unfortunate turn for Hall after already missing time this year due to a five-game suspension. Cleveland activated him from the suspension list last month.
Hall Jr., 21, was a two-year starter at Ohio State and was named third-team All-Big Ten in 2022 and 2023.
The No. 54 overall pick signed a four-year, $7,069,828 contract that includes a $1,961,692 signing bonus and will carry a $1,285,423 cap figure for the 2024 season.
In 2024, Hall has appeared in four games for the Browns and recorded five tackles and one tackle for loss.
