Redskins’ Hall needs Achilles surgery again

Washington Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall, who tore his Achilles tendon last month and underwent surgery to repair it, tore it again this week and will have to redo the surgery, coach Jay Gruden said Friday.

“He had a late night getting some pizza or something in his kitchen and slipped and re-tore it,” Gruden said, describing how Hall was injured. “He has to go back in and get it fixed. That just is going to delay his rehab obviously and unfortunately, but hopefully we will still be able to get him back by the start of the season next year. It might impede his progress as far as OTAs and maybe training camp and all that.”

The date of the surgery is unknown.

Rookie cornerback Bashaud Breeland has replaced Hall in Washington’s lineup and has shined, collecting 26 tackles so far this season. However, Breeland tweaked his knee at the end of Friday’s practice and is questionable for Sunday’s game.

Hall is signed through 2017 and will count $4.8 million against the salary cap next year. The Redskins, however, would save $2.375 million if they don’t feel he can return and subsequently release him.

Redskins cut DeAngelo Hall

DeAngelo Hall has been released by the Washington Redskins, the cornerback told ESPN’s Josina Anderson in a text.

The 29-year-old Hall was set to count $8 million against the Redskins’ salary cap. He had four interceptions last season, his fifth in Washington, and had 39 career picks in 133 games.

Hall had two years remaining on the six-year, $54 million deal he signed at the end of the 2008 season.

The talkative Hall was a thorough mix of big plays and blown coverages during his time in Washington. The Redskins’ defense ranked 30th in the league last season against the pass.

Washington’s salary cap situation is hampered because of an $18 million penalty due to violations in the NFL’s uncapped year in 2010.

The league took issue with how the Redskins, Cowboys, New Orleans Saints and Oakland Raiders restructured contracts to take advantage of a year of uncapped salaries in the NFL during the 2010 season. The Redskins were penalized $36 million in total, and chose to split the penalty over the 2012 and 2013 seasons.

The Cowboys were the only team besides the Redskins to receive a salary cap penalty ($10 million).
