The Cleveland Browns' defense relies on the play of their defensive line. The unit is finally getting healthy ahead of Week 1 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and they need those same players who are healing up to play a big role.
Head coach Todd Monken discussed one of those players yesterday. While speaking to the media, he discussed that one hurdle they have with him is how he brings it to every practice and how sometimes that can leave his body beat up.
Monken explained, "He likes to practice, he's fun to be around, very competitive. The biggest thing is trying to keep him healthy 'cause he's reckless with his body, plays with the abandon that you want. Trying to keep him healthy is the biggest thing, 'cause when he's out there, he is very disruptive.
He is a huge plus for us defensively."

Hall playing alongside the likes of Mason Graham, Jared Verse, and Maliek Collins gives the Browns a formidable front for opposing offenses. However, they lack depth at the position so keeping Hall healthy is going to be an important task for this coaching staff.
