Roy

Hall

Hall was due a minimum salary of $550K, but the Colts are giving up on him after an injury-ruined three years in Indianapolis. Though blessed with NFL size and speed, the 26-year-old has been unable to stay off the shelf.

The Saints’ receiver depth chart is jam-packed, but the fit is ideal for Hall’s skill set. Sean Payton could work wonders with a 6'3/240-pounder with 4.4 speed, perhaps in an H-back role or at slot receiver. The odds are against Hall making the roster, but he’ll be a player to keep an eye on if he does.

The 240-pounder from OSU was used at wideout in minicamp but could play the slot or H-back once he gets ready for playing time. But barring rapid development, Hall may struggle to stay active on game days as a rookie.

Hall was injured during a kickoff collision with Texans DL Cedric Killings in Week 3. Several Colts sat out Wednesday’s practice, including Tyjuan Hagler (player decision), cornerback Marlin Jackson (quadriceps) guard Ryan Lilja (knee), but all are expected to play this week.

Hall would rotate between receiver and H-back if he made the team. He fell in the draft after not seeing much playing time behind three first-round picks from Ohio State, but has great speed for his size. Those in deep keeper leagues might want to watch this kid.

Indianapolis grew tired of waiting for the rookie to heal up. Hall, a project from Ohio State, will again be in a battle to make the club in 2008.

The 6-3/240-pound Ohio State product could be used as an H-back or slot receiver during the year. Hall reportedly impressed during minicamps, but he’s unlikely to be any higher than fourth on the depth chart as a rookie.

Hall is out indefinitely with a shoulder injury. Strong-side linebacker Rob Morris returns to the lineup, sending Rocky Boiman back into a reserve role.

Standeford had an opportunity to make the team, but lost out to Roy Hall. Standeford has exhausted his practice squad eligibility.

Hall injured his left shoulder on the kickoff collision with Cedric Killings.
