Hall will play with Redskins

Less than one day after DeAngelo Hall cleared waivers, the cornerback agreed Friday to a one-year contract with the Washington Redskins.

Hall should suit up for Washington’s next game, on Nov. 16 against Dallas. The Redskins, who have had injury problems in the secondary, are off this week.

Hall was released by Oakland this week after playing only eight games with the Raiders, who acquired Hall in the off-season for two draft picks, then signed him to a seven-year, $70-million contract. But he lasted only half a season with the struggling Raiders, and several players expressed disappointment that he was released.

Fines

The NFL fined five players for on-field actions during last weekend’s games, including Minnesota’s Jared Allen $50,000 for two below-the-knee hits on Houston quarterback Matt Schaub. Allen also was listed as doubtful on the injury report for the upcoming game against Green Bay.

Jacksonville defensive tackle John Henderson and Cincinnati guard Andrew Whitworth were fined $10,000 for fighting. Henderson and Whitworth exchanged punches after Henderson knocked off Whitworth’s helmet, then appeared to try to gouge his eyes. Henderson also got an additional $5,000 fine for illegal hands to the face when he struck Whitworth.

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker LaMarr Woodley was fined $10,000 for slamming Washington quarterback Jason Campbell to the ground in Monday night’s game. Campbell banged his head on the turf when hit.

New York Giants defensive end Justin Tuck was fined $7,500 for his hit on Dallas quarterback Brooks Bollinger in the fourth quarter Sunday.

Updates

Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger practiced Friday despite being limited by his slightly separated right shoulder and may be able to play Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. Running back Willie Parker may miss the game because of a shoulder injury. . . . Baltimore Ravens cornerback Chris McAlister will have season-ending surgery on his damaged right knee and will be placed on injured reserve. . . . Detroit Lions starting quarterback Dan Orlovsky may need thumb surgery for two fractures and a torn ligament. . . . Chicago Bears quarterback Kyle Orton practiced Friday for the first time since getting injured, but an appearance in Sunday’s game against Tennessee appears unlikely.
