Chase Young may have suffered a setback in his recovery from a tornACL.
Young injured his knee while attending Von Miller's pass-rushing camp, and the Commanders are not happy with him going outside of the team facility for a workout.
Young was placed on the reserve/physically unable to perform list by Washington two weeks ago and will not be on the field for the first four games of the season. He was on the active/PUP list during training camp while he recovered from his knee injury.
Young wasn't expected to be back until later in the year, according to a recent report. Commanders head coach Ron Rivera said last month that it was hard to say when Young would be back.
Rivera said in August that it was difficult to predict on recovery time. The injury is more severe than the average one, so the timetable is a bit longer. What is the current time frame? I'm not able to tell you.
Young, who was the second pick in the 2020 draft, was named the league's defensive rookies of the year. He was able to get 1.5 sacks in nine games.
