NFL Suspends SeahawksDerick Hall One Game for Stepping on Rams Guard Kevin Dotson

The appeal will determine whether he sits out Seattle’s Week 17 trip to Carolina.

Overview

  • League officials said Hall committed unnecessary roughness and unsportsmanlike conduct by stepping on Kevin Dotson’s leg after a first‑quarter play.
  • No penalty was called during the game, with the suspension issued retroactively following review.
  • Hall is appealing through the NFL–NFLPA process, which is decided by a jointly appointed hearing officer.
  • Rams right guard Kevin Dotson suffered a left ankle sprain, was seen in a boot and on crutches, and is doubtful for Week 17, with Sean McVay noting the stomp did not cause the injury.
  • If the suspension is upheld, Hall forfeits roughly $87,700, misses Week 17 at Carolina, and is eligible to return Dec. 29 as Seattle sits 12–3 after a 38–37 overtime win.
