The NFL has suspended Seattle Seahawks linebacker Derick Hall for one game without pay due to unsportsmanlike conduct, the league said Friday.
The NFL alleges Hall unnecessarily stepped on the leg of Los Angeles Rams point guard Kevin Dotson while the Rams player was on the ground at the end of a play in the first quarter. Dotson left the game with an ankle injury and did not return. He was then seen outside the Rams locker room, on crutches and with a walking boot on his left foot according to ESPN.
Hall “absolutely” plans to appeal his suspension, a source told ESPN. If this decision is confirmed, he will be eligible to return to the Seahawks roster on Monday, December 29.
The Seahawks (12-3) secured a place in the playoffs and took first place in the West division of the National thanks to an anthology victory over the Rams on Thursday.
