Hall re-tore Achilles by slipping while getting pizza

Noid

The Noid strikes back.

For the second straight year, a pizza-related incident has resulted in an injury to an NFL player. Last year, former Lions receiver Nate Burleson broke an arm in a car accident that happened after Burleson tried to keep a pizza from falling onto the floor.

This year, Washington cornerback DeAngelo Hall re-tore his surgically-repaired Achilles tendon when he slipped and fell in his kitchen while getting a slice of pizza, according to Tarik El-Bashir of CSN Washington.

Hall will have a second surgery to re-attach the tendon. At this point, there’s no reason to think he won’t be ready to go in 2015.

As long as he’s more careful during those late-night pizza runs.
