Hall (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Hall will miss a second consecutive game due to an ankle injury he picked up against the Steelers in Week 4. His next chance to play is Week 7 against the Titans on Sunday, Oct. 25, though Hall is unlikely to suit up for that contest unless he's cleared to return to practice in at least a limited capacity. The good news for the Browns' defensive front is that Mason Graham (knee/ankle) has a chance to return from a one-game absence after drawing the questionable tag for Sunday's AFC North showdown.

Browns' Mike Hall: Returns to practice
Rotowire
Hall (undisclosed) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Hall was expected to return to practice sometime this week, so Tuesday's participation is no shock. The defensive tackle missed last Saturday's preseason opener against the Bears due to an unknown issue but should be set to play a few snaps in next Saturday's contest against the Bills. Hall's return to the lineup means Sam Kamara and Adin Huntington will likely see fewer reps in Saturday's contest.
