DeAngelo Hall let the game’s biggest contract for a cornerback destroy his brief and disastrous tenure with the Oakland Raiders last year. He played well for the Redskins after Thanksgiving and earned another big contract in February. To redeem himself, Hall has worked out with a boxing trainer after practices and has himself in the best shape of his life. Hopefully, that will lead to the best season of his career. Read it.
CB Carlos Rogers is taking a while to recover from a calf injury and won’t play against the Patriots in preseason game 3. Shawn Springs had a similar, though more severe, injury last year and it was a problem all season. Hopefully, that won’t happen with Carlos, who also missed the first preseason game. Read it.
Expect the Rogers absence to give embattled sophomore Justin Tryon more time on the field. He needs it to overcome past mistakes, but facing Tom Brady is never fun. Read it.

The invaluable John Keim looks at the Redskins secondary and finds mostly good news. Read it.
KR/RB Rock Cartwright will also miss preseason game 3, with a groin injury. Read it.
Chad Rinehart, Jeremy Bridges and Mike Williams are good bets to make the team as backup offensive linemen. Who else? Don’t bet against Will Montgomery, the 305-lb center-guard who OL Coach Joe Bugel raves about. Read it.
Local kid Marcus Mason has done everything he could do to make the Redskins roster and he has still been cut twice. He’s hoping this third time is the charm. I doubt it. Read it.
Albert Haynesworth arrived in Washington with a huge contract and a reputation for laziness, injuries and anger management issues. Can he put that behind him and focus on being the best defensive tackle in football? He looked great against the Steelers last Friday. Read it.
QB Jason Campbell could silence some of the criticism by getting a touchdown or two with the first team offense. Read it.
Pass-rushing specialist Chris Wilson thinks he’s got a roster spot in Washington. Read it.
When will the Jessica Simpson + Colt Brennan rumors die? Quick, someone chuck a Twinkie at Jessica — that should distract her. In any case, Brennan should be focusing on football, since his place on the team is by no means secure. Read it.
