Bears Host P.J. Hall

For the first time since his arrest in June, free agent defensive tackle P.J. Hall is drawing some interest. The Bears hosted Hall for a work out, veteran NFL reporter Aaron Wilson tweets.

The charges of misdemeanor assault never seemed to serious or like something that would preclude him from getting another job. Hall finished last season with the Texans and originally received a tender as a restricted free agent, but that tender was rescinded. Originally a second-round pick of the Raiders in 2018, it didn’t take long for hall to find himself in Jon Gruden’s doghouse.

He made 18 starts across his first two pro seasons, but was dealt to the Vikings right before the start of the 2020 season. He failed his physical with Minnesota, reverted back to the Raiders, and was later waived. That’s when he latched on with Houston, and the Sam Houston State product started nine games for the Texans last year.

The 57th pick of the 2018 draft, Hall turned 26 back in April. In 40 career games and 27 starts, he has 82 tackles, 10 for a loss, and 2.5 sacks.
