RICHMOND, Va. — No one around the Washington Redskins harbors doubt about whether DeAngelo Hall has the know-how and competitive spirit necessary to come back from two — count 'em, two! — operations on a torn Achilles tendon.
Least of all the ever-confident Hall himself, of course, who answered with a simple "Yeah" and a chuckle when asked whether he can regain his starting job. He is, don't forget, second among active NFL players with 43 interceptions.
The question, really, for the cornerback, who turns 32 in November, and the team is whether he'll be able to fully recover physically.
