Redskins defensive back DeAngelo Hall is done for the season. The cornerback suffered a painful leg injury on Sunday and an MRI today confirmed that he has torn his ACL, Erin Hawksworth of ABC 7 tweets. Now, Hall must wait until the swelling goes down before Dr. James Andrews can operate on him.
Hall, 32, hurt his knee in the second quarter of Washington’s 29-27 victory over the Giants. He paced the sidelines hoping to get back in the game, but he was ruled out for the rest of the contest.
The veteran was a cornerback for his entire career up until this offseason when the Redskins asked him to transition over to safety. Now, the Redskins are down a starter and they’ll likely bump Will Blackmon or Duke Ihenacho to the starting spot opposite David Bruton Jr. We can also expect the Redskins to look outside for help.

DeAngelo Hall. An all-time great Raider defender. Also an all-time great Raider signing.
Might be time to call it a career. Body keeps failing him. 2 Achilles and a knee one year after the other
