Defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr. is ready to make his NFL debut this weekend.
The Browns shared that they have activated Hall on Saturday. He had been on the Commissioner Exempt list after being arrested on domestic violence charges in August, and he was suspended for five games after agreeing to a lesser charge.
The first four games of his suspension counted while he was on the exempt list, and last week’s loss to the Commanders was the final game he had to sit out.
Hall was picked in the second round this year.
The Browns also activated linebacker Mohamoud Diabate and defensive tackle Maurice Hurst from injured reserve. Safety Christopher Edmonds and wide receiver Jaelon Darden were moved up from the practice squad for a short time.
To make room for these players, the Browns placed tackle James Hudson on injured reserve and released wide receiver James Proche.
