If Washington Commanders defensive end Chase Young is under any pressure to perform in 2023, he hasn’t shown it early in training camp. Young has looked excellent on the field early in camp, and in talking with the media this week, he seems relaxed and happy to be back with his teammates and coaches.
After winning the NFL defensive rookie of the year award in 2020, Young struggled in 2021, recording only 1.5 sacks in nine games before a devastating knee injury ended his season in Week 10. Young didn’t return until Week 16 of the 2022 season. Young’s knee injury was much more extensive than just an ACL injury — already a very serious injury.
