BEREA, Ohio — The Browns defensive line is getting closer to whole with second-year defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr. returning to practice for the first time on Thursday. It’s unclear as to when Hall will return to the field, but it’s a step in the right direction.

His return came on the same day defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz had high praise for his defensive line, notable because Schwartz rarely gives out praise like he did on Thursday.
