DeAngelo Hall re-signed with the Redskins this offseason after having one of his better seasons in Washington. His new deal is for 4 years and worth up to $17 million. Hall is 30 years old and has just suffered a major injury, tearing his Achilles tendon during yesterdays game against the Philadelphia Eagles. He is expected to speak to reporters shortly about the injury, and more updates will be provided when they are available. Head Coach Jay Gruden is also set to speak to reporters later today, and we should get an official update, and a possible roster move(Minnifield) to fill Hall's spot if he is placed on IR as expected.
