Tests on Monday confirmed that Washington Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall suffered a season-ending Achilles injury Sunday against Philadelphia.

With the Eagles leading 24-20, Hall was helped off the field and taken to the locker room on a motorized cart. The noncontact injury initially was reported as a leg injury, but Hall said after the game he was certain he had suffered an Achilles injury.

Hall had an MRI exam Monday morning and returned to Redskins Park on crutches early in afternoon and told his teammates that he indeed did suffer a ruptured Achilles tendon. The Redskins placed him on injured reserve and promoted cornerback Chase Minnifield from the practice squad.

“I’ve spoke to a couple other athletes, who have had this similar injury,” the 11-year veteran told The Washington Post. “I’m just trying to do my homework, my due diligence make sure I pick the right place. I’m not a spring chicken, so I’ve got to make sure I get it done it the right way.

“I’ve got to be as patient as possible, attack this rehab and get back out on the field.”

Hall’s’ due diligence’ included talking to Kobe Bryant, the Los Angeles Lakers star who suffered a similar injury in 2013.

“This could’ve been a lot worse. It could’ve been an ACL. It could’ve been something that was quote-unquote a bigger deal than an Achilles’,” Hall said. “So, one out of 11 years isn’t a bad average. So, I’ll take that in any situation.”
