Free-agent DT P.J. Hall arrested on charges of assault, interference with public duties

Per NFL insider Aaron Wilson, Hall had a misdemeanor assault charge filed against him this past Sunday. The 26-year-old posted a $1,000 bond and next has a court appearance on July 16.

Hall spent the 2020 regular season with the Houston Texans and impressed when healthy, as he tallied 34 total tackles and a single sack across 10 games before he went down for the remainder of the year with a torn pectoral. Per the Houston Chronicle, he underwent surgery to repair that issue in early December. 

Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk explained the Texans terminated a qualifying offer made to Hall on April 7. That tender was worth $2.183 million. 

While much remains unknown about Hall's current legal setback, a player in his situation could face some type of league suspension. That reality might prevent a team from taking a flier on him ahead of training-camp sessions that open next month.
