Cleveland Browns defensive tackle Mike Hall was out of practice for nearly three weeks after a serious “dust up” with running back Quinshon Judkins in training camp, an absence that definitely raised some eyebrows around the league.
What Really Happened on the Field?
Cameras caught what they called an “aggressive block” from Judkins on a stumbling Hall. But let’s be real, you don’t just “stumble” your way into missing three weeks of practice. Rumors immediately started flying that there was way more to it than a simple on-field incident. PFT went digging, trying to get answers from the team and Hall’s agents about those rumors, but silence was all they got. No one was talking.
“Mishap” or More? Hall Finally Speaks
After all that silence, Hall finally faced reporters on Wednesday, trying to put the whole saga to bed. “Yeah, I mean, we’re teammates at the end of the day, so, I mean, it’s just a little, you know, mishap on the field,” Hall said. He tried to brush it off, adding, “But other than that, you know, he’s my brother, at the end of the day, he’s still my teammate. So we were getting ready to play Jacksonville and that’s what I’m worried about.” When asked directly if he’d even spoken to Judkins to clear the air, Hall again pivoted to game prep: “Yeah, like I said before, he’s my teammate, so I mean, got to talk to him at some time. But we’re getting ready for Jacksonville and that’s all I’m worried about.” It sounds like if there was something deeper, the Browns’ locker room successfully kept it locked down tight.
So, with Hall claiming he’s “over it,” the Browns are now focused squarely on playing Jacksonville. The real test won’t be in front of the cameras, but on the field, to see if this “mishap” truly is in the past.
