It looks like fans have to wait for a little bit longer to see Chase Young make his 2022 debut with the Washington Commanders.
While recent signs pointed to Young potentially suiting up for the Commanders in Week 12 against the Atlanta Falcons, that won't be the case. The Commanders defensive end had been questionable to play because of his knee, but he has now been ruled out, per NFL Network's Ian Rapaport. Illness was also added to the injury report for Young.
The 23-year-old Chase Young has been out since November 2021 when he tore his ACL and MCL. It has been a long journey to recovery for him, and the Commanders have exercised caution in order to make sure that he is fully healthy when he returns.
Naturally, the team won't be rushing him if they feel their star defensive end is still not yet at 100 percent. They simply cannot risk him worsening his injury at this point. It also seems as if this illness is a real problem, making his return even more complicated.
For what it's worth, however, Young is taking his recovery day-by-day. But he does seem excited to rejoin the team as they attempt to make it to the playoffs this year.
“Real eager, man. I’m proud of where this team is right now. I think we can make a run down the stretch, so I’m real excited. … You can see it. We’re ballin’, man. I’m happy for my brothers,” Young said of the Cardinals amid the team's 6-5 record.
Hopefully, Chase Young will be out there in Week 13.
