Ron Rivera gives injury update on Commanders DE Chase Young

The 2023 season is a big one for Washington Commanders defensive end Chase Young. Young is fully healthy this summer and looks ready for a huge season.

Young’s explosiveness was on full display early in Friday’s preseason opener against the Cleveland Browns. Young went around Cleveland left tackle Jedrick Wills, putting his hands on quarterback Deshaun Watson and barely missing a sack.

Unfortunately, it would be his last play, as Young went to the sidelines, where trainer Al Bellamy checked on him.

Fans held their breath when Young went to the sidelines and did not return. It never appeared serious, but with injuries, you just never know.

After the game, Young’s healthy was a primary topic, and head coach Ron Rivera provided an update:

That’s good news. “A little bit of a stinger” is much better than the alternative. While it remains to be seen what Young’s status will be for next week’s joint practices with the Baltimore Ravens, there are no long-term concerns with Young.

Young was only on the field for around four plays, but he made an impact. That’s encouraging for the Commanders.
