Commanders Preparing For A Chase Young Absence

Washington Commanders edge rusher Chase Young is likely to miss time in 2022, delaying a year many hope will be the launch pad for a superstar career.

 

Head coach Ron Rivera mentioned the injury while appearing on 106.7 The Fan. He called it “a little more severe” and expects the former second overall selection to “miss a bit of time.”

 

His outlook for the regular season is not yet clear, but it is another hurdle Washington will have to clear in an uphill battle to win the NFC East. They have the talent to make up for his absence on defense, but losing someone as talented as Young is always a significant detriment. 

 

Young is currently +3500 to record the most sacks this year, per DraftKings. For someone with as much talent as Young, such a projection suggests the Commanders could be without their star for a legitimate stretch.
