Redskins S DeAngelo Hall Expects To Open Year On PUP List

Redskins S DeAngelo Hall tells JP Finlay on Thursday that he expects to open the regular season on the PUP list.

“Dr. Andrews doesn’t think I’m quite ready. I’m gonna take his advice,” Hall said.

Hall is working his way back from an ACL tear he suffered last year. Washington placed him on the active/PUP list to open training camp, so this shouldn’t come as a big surprise.

However, being added to the reserve/PUP list in the coming weeks would cost Hall the first six games of the regular season.

Hall, 33, is a former first-round pick of the Falcons back in 2004. After four years in Atlanta, Hall joined the Redskins for the 2008 season and has spent the past nine years in Washington.

Hall is in the final year of his four-year, $17 million contract that includes $5.4 million guaranteed and was set to make a base salary of $4.25 million for the 2017 season when he agreed to a pay cut last month.

In 2016, Hall was limited to appearing in just three games and recording 16 tackles, no interceptions and a pass defense for the Redskins.
