Eagles release experienced CB from IR

PHILADELPHIA – The Eagles have agreed to an injury settlement with Tyler Hall and released the veteran cornerback from injured reserve.

Hall was originally placed on the injured list on August 17 due to what an NFL source described as a groin injury.

By negotiating a settlement, Hall becomes a free agent, but he cannot be re-signed by the Eagles until the settlement period (the number of weeks used to calculate the settlement) plus three additional weeks has expired.

Hall, 26, originally signed a one-year, $1.125 million deal with the Eagles on March 21 to become a potential slot cornerback option after all the problems the organization had there during the 2023 season.

After that date, however, Philadelphia was able to reconcile with salary cap victim Avonte Maddox and sign two of the best cornerbacks in the 2024 NFL Draft, Quinyon Mitchell (number 22) and Cooper DeJean (number 40).

Maddox, Mitchell and DeJean have all worked in the slot during training camp, though Maddox is now settling in as a backup safety, while Mitchell will apparently play a dual role early in the season: lining up on the outside opposite Darius Slay when two CBs are on the field and sliding inside when a slot is needed, with Isaiah Rodgers or Kelee Ringo stepping in as right cornerback.

The planned final game this season would have DeJean working in the slot and Mitchell staying out, but that was delayed by a hamstring injury that cost DeJean three weeks of training camp.

Hall played 16 snaps (33% of the team's total) in the Eagles' season opener against Baltimore and was rewarded with an assisted tackle. In Week 2 against New England, he played 10 snaps (18%) with one tackle and another tackle on special teams.

Hall, a fifth-year player from Wyoming, spent time in Atlanta, with the Los Angeles Rams and in Las Vegas before signing with the Eagles.
