Crumpled on the field in Philadelphia, Washington Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall put out signs of an extensive problem. First, he was in the clear before he fell to the field in pain. The ball was on the opposite side, which caused Hall to precede his crumble with a pivot and plant. Hall was also reaching for a most tender area, above his heel and behind his ankle, indicating he may have an Achilles problem, though he thought it may be a calf issue. An MRI supported the worst-case conjecture. Hall had torn his left Achilles’ tendon. For the first time in his 12-year career, Hall’s time on the field lasted less than three games because of a season-ending surgery.
