The Cleveland Browns placed rookie defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr. to the Injured Reserve.

Hall Jr., who suffered a knee injury in training on Thursday, he was then ruled out of the team’s Week 11 game against the New Orleans Saints. Head coach Kevin Stefanski said during his press availability that Hall Jr. was a candidate for IR at the time. That nightmare it has now become a reality.

To fill their roster spot, the Browns have already signed another defensive tackle from their training squad in the form of Sam Kamara. However, at 2-7, the Browns need to get snaps to their young guys to evaluate them.

Losing the top draft pick of the last three years for at least four weeks is a massive miss. Especially for a player who started his NFL career with a five-game suspension.

Can the Browns overcome yet another defensive injury to beat the struggling Saints?
