WASHINGTON -- If Washington Redskins safety DeAngelo Halls season-ending injury might lead others to suspect the playmaking defensive backs 13-year NFL career is over, he was adamant Monday that wont be the case.Ill be back, Hall tweeted , adding: you can bet your life on that!!!!!!!Hall will miss the rest of this season with a torn ligament in his right knee, the third consecutive year the veteran will miss time with an injury. Redskins coach Jay Gruden said Monday that Hall needed surgery on his ACL.Its pretty significant, Gruden said.From a leadership standpoint, `D-Hall has done a lot for this organization, a lot for this team, the coach said. Hes going to be missed.Hall, who turns 33 in November, was hurt in the first half of Washingtons 29-27 victory at the NFC East rival New York Giants on Sunday.He has spent the past nine seasons with the Redskins. After entering the league as a cornerback, taken with the No. 8 overall pick in the 2004 draft by Atlanta, Hall switched to safety last season.Hall missed five games in 2015. The season before, he was out 13 games, sidelined by a torn Achilles tendon.Hes got to really take a look at it and see where he is once he does the rehab and if he wants to try it again, Gruden said. I havent talked to him about that, his future, yet. We just want him to get well first.Will Blackmon, a cornerback until this season, will start at safety in Halls place, Gruden said.Blackmon has become more comfortable back there. You can see that every day in practice and in the games, Gruden said. We have total faith that hell get the job done.Halls injury was the most serious for the Redskins (1-2) to deal with as they prepare to host the Cleveland Browns (0-3) next Sunday, but it was hardly the only one.- Cornerback Bashaud Breeland has strained tendons in his right ankle, which Gruden called a week-to-week issue. Yet another defensive back, Dashaun Phillips, has a strained hamstring.- Two offensive linemen also have problems that Gruden described as week to week: left guard Shawn Lauvao (moderate ankle sprain) and center Kory Lichtensteiger (calf strain).- Rookie wideout Josh Doctsons Achilles tendon, which has bothered him since he joined the team, was sore during pregame warmups, so he was inactive against the Giants. Weve just got to continue to treat him and figure out the roots of the problem and try to get it fixed, Gruden said.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich Demetris Nichols Jersey Signed .

Charlie Strong says he has not been told he has lost his job at Texas, despite reports that a decision to let him go has been made.Ive been told well be evaluated at the end of the season, he said at a Monday news conference.Texas athletic director Mike Perrin said the same thing in a statement Sunday night.Strong said that he met with his team after ESPN, among other outlets, reported that he will be fired.Theres a lot of reports out there, Strong said he told the team. Theres no reason for you to worry about me.Amid the turmoil, some Texas players have reportedly discussed boycotting the last game against TCU.The Austin American-Statesman reported that upperclassmen are trying to intervene to calm the situation.Strong said that his team will show up for TCU.They will not boycott this game, he said. They know this game is about the seniors. Thats not going to happen.Strong added: I told them not to quit on me and I wouldnt quit on them.Texas wide receiver Jacorey Warrick was that adamant players will not boycott the game and said he hopes the dozens of Longhorn players who came to Strongs news conference to show their support sent a message.He doesnt have the support, I guess, of some of the people who are trying to get him out, Warrick said. But the people who really matter, the players, you can see where our support lies.Strong did say that the rumors and reports have put pressure on the 5-6 Longhorns and that Texas was playing not to lose recently.?When theyre playing the way theyre playing, theyre playing for this coaaching staff, I can see the frustration, he said.ddddddddddddith tears streaming down his face, defensive tackle Paul Boyette Jr. offered a passionate defense of Strongs tenure at Texas, arguing his coaches deserve more than 36 months to turn the program around.In my heart and my spirit, I want him to be here, Boyette Jr. said. I dont make the decisions. Im not the head man in charge. All I can do is pray and hope for the best. I cant say enough about him.Boyette Jr., a senior, said it leaves a bitter taste in his mouth to think another head coach could come to Texas next season and reap the benefits of Strongs three years of building.If they hit the jackpot, they go a national championship, win the Big 12, theyll know who got em there, Boyette Jr. said.Strong is 16-20 overall and 12-14 in Big 12 play in three seasons with the Longhorns. If he coaches Friday against TCU, Strong will clinch either a bowl bid or his third seven-loss season.Strong said Monday that he wants to return next season and feels that a young Texas team has a lot of upside.If he is fired, however, Strong will be owed a $10.7 million buyout for the remaining two years on his contract, a fee that would be reduced if he takes another job.Strongs situation came to a head after Texas lost 24-21 in overtime to a Kansas team that was 1-9 and had lost its past 19 Big 12 games.ESPN staff writer Max Olson contributed to this report.
