Browns Lose Promising Rookie for Extended Stretch After Practice Injury (msn.com)

The Cleveland Browns will be without standout rookie defensive tackle Michael Hall Jr. for an extended period of time due to a knee injury.

Hall injured his knee during Thursday’s practice and has been ruled out of Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints.

“He’s likely out for some time,” Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said on Friday, November 15.

The Browns have not ruled out the possibility of Hall landing on injured reserve, which would sideline him for at least the next four games. Hall missed the first five games of the season stemming from a domestic violence arrest.

Hall has recorded four tackles, including two solo, and a quarterback hit this season over four games. He’s posted a decent grade of 62.6 on Pro Football Focus, with a slighly higher mark (67.7) as a run defender. He’s played 42% of the defensive snaps in the games he’s been active for this season.

Pretty normal looking map this week. The only Ohioans to not get the game this week are my eternally forsaken homies in Van Wert, and a south central swath of Ohio from Portsmouth to Gallipolis.

So if your plan was to head on out to the original Bob Evans in Rio Grande, OH this Sunday and watch the Browns game afterwards, you’re probably looking at going to a sports bar. Which you were probably going to do anyway. Enjoy your sausage patties. 

Louisiana has the right idea. Their whole state gets the Browns game. And they’re  infecting their neighbors! Mississippi to Tallahassee! Which is two words with 3 sets of double letters a piece! Everybody gets a kick spelling Mississippi though. Nobody wants to spell Tallahassee…

 Ultimately I back the home team on the strength of crows noise, turnovers and better QB play (not saying much)    Saints -1.5 

Let's hope the Browns come off the BYE with a strong effort, tweak some things on both sides of the ball.

Then again, they somehow beat the Ravens, so...
