49ers signed WR Chad Hall from the practice squad.

Hall takes the roster spot of released kicker Billy Cundiff. Hall is a diminutive 5-foot-8 and 187 pounds but has the ability to line up in the slot or in the backfield. He's unlikely to see many, if any, offensive snaps, though. We wouldn't read into this as an indication of Michael Crabtree's game-day status.

Eagles signed WR/KR Chad Hall off their practice squad.

It's not a good sign for Jeremy Maclin's shoulder. Hall is a versatile player that can return kicks and carry the ball, but the Eagles have mainly used him as a receiver despite his 5'8/187 frame.

Eagles waived WR/KR Chad Hall.

Philly's fifth wideout for most of the 2010 season, Hall had been battling Sinorice Moss and Johnnie Lee Higgins for the final spot this year. The two veterans held a major size and athletic advantage over Hall, who will be a practice squad candidate.
