Seahawks’ Derick Hall Suspension Upheld for One Game
Seattle Seahawks linebacker Derick Hall faces a one-game suspension for violations of league rules. The decision was upheld on Monday after an earlier announcement on Friday. This suspension will see Hall penalized without pay following his actions in a recent game against the Los Angeles Rams.
Details of the Suspension
Hall, 24, received the suspension for stepping on Rams guard Kevin Dotson at the conclusion of an offensive play during the Seahawks’ narrow victory, which ended 38-37 in overtime on Thursday night. Following the incident, the NFL determined that Hall had violated:
- Rule 12, Section 2, Article 8: Unnecessary Roughness
- Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1: Unsportsmanlike Conduct
These rules emphasize maintaining sportsmanship and prohibit actions that compromise the integrity of the game.
Return Date
Derick Hall’s suspension means he will be eligible to return to the field for the Seahawks on December 29. This date comes after Seattle’s matchup against the Carolina Panthers.
Player Background
Hall is a third-year player out of Auburn, selected 37th overall by the Seahawks in the 2023 NFL Draft. During the current season, he has participated in 13 games, starting three. His defensive contributions include:
- 29 total tackles
- 1 sack
As the Seahawks look ahead, Hall’s absence will be felt as they prepare for upcoming challenges without one of their key defensive players.
