Seattle Seahawks linebacker Derick Hall has been suspended without pay for one game for an act of unnecessary roughness and unsportsmanlike conduct during Thursday’s win over the Los Angeles Rams, the NFL announced on Friday.
Hall will be eligible to return to the Seahawks’ active roster on Monday, Dec. 29, following the team’s Dec. 28 game against the Carolina Panthers.
Under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, Hall may appeal the suspension.
During the first quarter, the 24-year-old Hall stepped on the leg of Rams guard Kevin Dotson at the end of a play while he was on the ground, which according to the league, violated Rule 12, Section 2, Article 8, which prohibits unnecessary roughness and Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1, which applies to unsportsmanlike conduct, including “any act which is contrary to the generally understood principles of sportsmanship.”
The Seahawks(12-3) are in sole possession of first place in the NFC West and is currently the number one seed in the NFC.
