    Chase Young To Make Season Debut Against 49ers

    Washington Commanders pass-rusher Chase Young (knee) is off the final injury report on Friday and is a full-go for the Week 16 game against the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday, according to head coach Ron Rivera. Young will be make his season debut after rupturing his patellar tendon and tearing his ACL in 2021. Young was activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list back on Nov. 21, but the Commanders have been cautious in bringing the 23-year-old pass-rusher back. Washington will surely ease Young back into the fold this weekend and for the rest of the season, so he probably isn't going to be in must-start territory for fantasy managers in IDP leagues. But Young's return will surely be a boost to an already strong Commanders pass rush.

    Chase Young Hopeful To Play This Season

    Washington Commanders pass rusher Chase Young (knee) didn't suit up for the Week 15 matchup against the New York Giants. The superstar pass rusher hasn't played at all this season while he recovers from an ACL injury. Despite that, the organization is hopeful that Young will be able to play at some point this season. The Commanders still have three games left in the regular season. They would love to have Young on the field for those games considering this team is in the playoff hunt. The 23-year-old would be on a snap count, but having him out there would be huge for this team. Possibly, Young can return next week, but we'll have to wait and see.

    Chase Young Remains Sidelined For Week 15

    Washington Commanders star pass rusher Chase Young (knee) won't suit up against the New York Giants on Sunday night, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. His season debut will have to wait another week. "While the Commanders would love to add a dynamic pass rusher, they also want to give Young the time he feels he needs to get ready to play," Rapoport writes. "The team will remain patient with Young and could very well get him back for any of the final three games as it fights for a wild-card spot." When Young does return, he'll be on a snap count so that the team can progressively work him back into action.

    Chase Young To Sit Out In Week 13

    Washington Commanders defensive end Chase Young (knee) has been ruled out for the Week 13 matchup against the New York Giants. The organization is going to continue to play it safe with Young who tore his ACL and MCL last year. The good news is, the Commanders plan on having Young return for Week 15. That will give him two extra weeks to rest and recover before getting back on the field. Once healthy, Young could be an X-factor for this defensive unit that certainly misses his presence.

    Chase Young Questionable To Make Season Debut

    Washington Commanders defensive end Chase Young (knee) is listed as questionable to make his season debut in Week 13 against the New York Giants. Young continues to work his way back from a torn ACL and MCL last year, and he was limited in practices all week. The 23-year-old was very close to returning in Week 12, but the Commanders elected to play it safe and wait another week. He has a much better chance of playing this Sunday, but if he's active, he'll certainly be on a snap count and won't be worth a starting lineup spot in IDP fantasy leagues. Once Young starts playing, James Smith-Williams will see fewer snaps as a result. Young could be an X-factor in Washington's defense the rest of the way.

    Chase Young Limited On Wednesday

    Washington Commanders defensive end Chase Young (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. After missing the first 12 weeks of the season recovering from his reconstructive knee surgery, Young is starting off Week 13 on the right note with a practice appearance, albeit a limited one. It remains to be seen whether the 23-year-old will suit up this week as he was questionable leading up to Week 12, and ended up being inactive. Keep an eye out for Young's return, as he can be one of the premier defensive players in the NFL when healthy.

    Chase Young Officially Ruled Out For Week 12

    Washington Commanders pass rusher Chase Young (knee, illness) has officially been downgraded to out ahead of Sunday's game versus the Atlanta Falcons, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. There was optimism that Young would play after being activated from the PUP list last Monday, but instead, his 2022 debut will be delayed another week. Washington travels to New York to face the Giants in Week 13, then will be on bye in Week 14.

    Chase Young Questionable To Debut In Week 12

    Washington Commanders pass-rusher Chase Young (knee) is listed as questionable for the Week 12 game against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday after an impressive few days of practice. Young is trending in the right direction to make his season debut after tearing his ACL last year. The Commanders also placed linebacker Cole Holcomb (foot) on Injured Reserve on Friday. Head coach Ron Rivera said that the 23-year-old Young will be on a snap count when he returns to the field for the team, so he won't be a realistic starting option in IDP fantasy formats. Rivera said Young is expected to be limited to 12 to 16 defensive snaps if he's active for the first time this Sunday against Atlanta.

    Chase Young Won't Play Against Houston

    Washington Commanders defensive end Chase Young (knee) won't play against the Texans. The 23-year-old was expected to return on Sunday for his first game in over a year, so the latest update is somewhat of a surprise. Fortunately, head coach Ron Rivera reported on Friday that Chase would "most certainly" be activated ahead of the Commanders' Week 12 meeting versus Atlanta, giving IDP managers something to look forward to.

    Chase Young Expected To Return In Week 11

    Washington Commanders star pass-rusher Chase Young (knee) was close to suiting up for Monday night's game against the Eagles but could not do so. However, he is expected to be activated from the Injured Reserve list this week, making his return to action against the Texans on Sunday. At full health, the 23-year-old is one of the most talented defensive ends in the league. Thus his presence would provide a huge boost for the Washington defense. They're coming off an impressive win against Philadelphia, forcing four turnovers and three sacks to knock off their division mates. Young could propel his squad into playoff contention, and is also a coveted fantasy starter in IDP formats.

    Chase Young Won't Be Activated For Monday's Game

    The Washington Commanders are not activating star pass-rusher Chase Young (knee) off Injured Reserve for the Monday night game against the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles, according to a source. Young is recovering from an ACL tear in 2021 and is close to being ready. There's a real chance he'll make his season debut in Week 11 against the Houston Texans if all goes well in practice this week. Washington is being cautious with the 23-year-old pass-rusher, and there's a good chance he'll have his snaps limited once he does make his debut, which will make him one to avoid in IDP fantasy formats. But Young's return is on the horizon, which will certainly make the Commanders' pass rush more formidable down the stretch.

    Chase Young Won't Be Activated In Week 9

    Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera said "Chase Young had a very good week" but that he won't be activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list in time to make his season debut in Week 9 against the Minnesota Vikings. There are still some things Young needs to work on before the team will activate him, and they also need to make sure his football conditioning is up to par. The good news is the 23-year-old returned to practice on Wednesday and opened his 21-day window to be activated. The Commanders have said all along that they'll bring Young along slowly after he blew his knee out last year, so fantasy managers in IDP leagues shouldn't expect too much from him for the rest of his third NFL season.

    Chase Young Designated To Return To Practice

    As expected, the Washington Commanders designated defensive end Chase Young (knee) to return to practice off the Physically Unable to Perform list on Wednesday. It opens a 21-day window for the team to officially activate Young off the PUP list. The 23-year-old pass-rusher tore both his ACL and MCL last year, so the Commanders are unlikely to rush him back onto the field immediately this Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. And once Young does make his 2022 season debut, there's a good chance Washington will keep him on a snap count, making him tough to rely on as a starter in IDP fantasy formats. Young had 7.5 sacks and made the Pro Bowl in his rookie season in 2020 but was a disappointment with just 1.5 sacks in nine games before getting injured in 2021.

    Chase Young Set To Return From PUP List

    Washington Commanders defensive end Chase Young (knee) has been designated to return from the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list on Wednesday, so the team will have 21 days from that date to move him to the active roster. This could be a huge boost for a team that finds itself at 4-4 through eight weeks. Young will be an interesting IDP player and could boost the Commanders' fantasy defense/special teams unit moving forward. For now, the fantasy impact isn't significant, but it'll be worth monitoring.

    Chase Young Will Return To Practice Next Week

    Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera told reporters on Thursday that defensive end Chase Young (knee) will be designated to return from Injured Reserve and will return to practice next week. It will open his 21-day window for the team to officially activate him from Injured Reserve so that he can make his 2022 debut. Young had a positive visit with Dr. James Andrews on Thursday and could return as soon as Week 9, although the Commanders will likely bring the 23-year-old former second overall pick back slowly. Young is recovering from a torn ACL and MCL in his knee last year, so it may take him some time before he can return to his Pro Bowl form from his rookie season in 2020.

    Chase Young Won't Return To Practice This Week

    Washington Commanders defensive end Chase Young (knee) hasn't suffered any setbacks, but the team is being cautious with him and won't start his 21-day window to be activated from Injured Reserve this week, according to a team source. If all goes well with Young's next doctor's visit, he will likely return to practices next week. The 23-year-old could make his season debut in Week 9 against the Minnesota Vikings if he's able to return to practice this week, but that might be an optimistic timeline. Young had surgery last November to fix a torn ACL and MCL in his right knee. The third-year former second overall pick made the Pro Bowl in his rookie season with 7.5 sacks and 32 solo tackles in 15 games, but he took a step back in his sophomore campaign before suffering the devastating knee injury.

    Chase Young Could Return Against The Colts In Week 8

    Washington Commanders defensive lineman Chase Young (knee) will see Dr. Andrews on Sunday, and if all goes well, he'll practice next week. The Commanders will evaluate Young before determining if the 23-year-old will return against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 8. Washington will see how Young's surgically repaired knee responds through practice before activating him off the PUP list. The former No.2 overall pick recorded 70 tackles and nine sacks in 24 career games through his first two NFL seasons. Young will boost Washington's defense and remain a roster stash in IDP league formats.

    Chase Young To "Take It Slow" With Return

    Washington Commands defensive end Chase Young (knee) met with renowned surgeon Dr. James Andrews on Wednesday. The 23-year continues to recover from ACL and MCL tears in his right knee, an injury he suffered in November 2021. The team has no plans on rushing him back until he's 100%, and even when he's finally activated, he may be limited early on. Young has appeared in 24 games during his career, amassing 70 total tackles, nine sacks, and six forced fumbles, so IDP managers will eagerly continue to await his return. Hopefully, it will be sometime soon.

    Chase Young Won't Be Activated This Week

    Washington Commanders defensive end Chase Young (knee) will not be activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list this week, according to head coach Ron Rivera. Young will miss at least one more game and probably more as he continues to recover from ACL and MCL tears in his right knee last November. The 23-year-old former first-rounder made the Pro Bowl in his rookie season in 2020 when he had 7.5 sacks and 44 tackles (32 solo), but he played in only nine games in 2021 and finished with just 1.5 sacks and 26 tackles (15 solo). At full health, he will be a big boost to the Commanders' pass rush and he should be worth a look in IDP formats down the stretch as well.

    Chase Young Could Return Around Week 5

    Washington Commanders defensive end Chase Young is on a similar timetable to running back Brian Robinson, according to Adam Schefter. It was reported that Robinson is likely to be ready to return by Week 5. It sounds like Young is on a slightly slower timetable, but still should be available to play this season. Young suffered an ACL tear during Week 10 of last season. The team isn't going to rush him back, but having Young on the field is a huge upgrade to this roster. This Commanders defense will be much more desirable once Young returns to the field.

    Chase Young Should Be Ready To Go When Eligible

    Washington Commanders defensive end Chase Young (knee) will miss the first four games of the regular season while recovering from an ACL tear, but the team expects him to be ready soon after that, if not before, so he should be able to hit the ground running and start recording sacks for what is already a pretty strong defense in Washington. Young showed an ability to wreck games and disrupt quarterbacks on a weekly basis in his rookie season two years ago. ESPN's Dan Graziano thinks the 23-year-old will be a major factor down the stretch, and he could win Comeback Player of the Year. He made the Pro Bowl in his rookie campaign in 2020, when he had 7.5 sacks, 44 tackles (32 solo), 10 tackles for loss and 12 QB hits in 15 starts. Young may not be worth a draft pick in IDP leagues because of his injury, but he'll surely be a waiver-wire pickup once he's back.

    Chase Young Moved To PUP List, Will Miss Four Games

    The Washington Commanders moved pass-rusher Chase Young (knee) to the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list on Tuesday, meaning he'll miss at least the first four games of the regular season. The Commanders need him to be 100 percent healthy before they activate him. Young tore his ACL in November of last year and wasn't expected to be ready for the start of the 2022 season. The 23-year-old former second overall pick in 2020 had just 1.5 sacks in nine games before his serious knee injury in 2021 after he tallied 7.5 sacks in 15 games as a Pro Bowler in his rookie season. Young obviously won't be as attractive in IDP fantasy leagues this year due to his injury, but he's worth stashing if you have the room on your roster.
