That makes all of these offseason activities under new HC Todd Monken so important. Players need to get reps with each other and coaches need to see what they have on the field.

Hall was a second-round pick in the 2024 NFL draft, out of The Ohio State University, but has struggled to make an impact despite a great defense around him. In 17 games, Hall has accounted for 2.5 sacks, 25 tackles, 10 QB hits, and 5 tackles for loss.
We will update you on Hall’s injury as soon as information becomes available.
