When has Leon Hall ever been in this situation?
“Never would be the answer,’’ he said Wednesday.
The veteran cornerback, in his ninth NFL season, never has been healthy and inactive, not in his previous eight years with the Bengals, not at Michigan and not in high school in California. This is all new to Hall, who was not in uniform for any of the past four games, as the Giants have gone younger in the secondary.
Hall signed a one-year contract to provide insurance and leadership in the defensive backfield, but he has been phased out, with Trevin Wade and Coty Sensabaugh getting snaps as reserve cornerbacks.
