Bad news for the Cleveland Browns broke this morning.
Mike Hall Jr., a rookie defensive tackle who has been turning heads during training camp and preseason action so far, is reportedly expected to be arrested following a domestic situation that occurred on Monday night.
That news came from Zac Jackson of The Athletic.
Following the news, the team has quickly issued a statement about the situation and are investigating the situation.
"We are aware of the incident involving Mike Hall, Jr. last night. MIke and his representatives have been in touch with the appropriate authorities. We are in the process of gathering more information and will have no further comment at the time."

Needless to say, this is an incredibly disappointing situation that is unfolding.
Hall, a former standout for the Ohio State Buckeyes in college, was beginning to look like an instant player for the Browns. He had been performing well early on in his career and was expected to carve out playing time for himself this season.
While no one truly knows what happened with this situation, it's something that could completely derail his career. Hopefully, no one is hurt and we won't speculate about anything regarding the situation.
More updates are sure to be available in the near future. We will know more about what happened and will have more details to share.
Until that point has arrived, the story is simply where it stands right now. Hall is expected to be arrested and the team is looking into the situation.
