When the Washington Commanders opened training camp Wednesday, it was noticeable that defensive end Chase Young was no longer wearing a knee brace. Young, who suffered a major knee injury in Week 10 of the 2021 season, didn’t return until Week 16 last season.
In two seasons since his rookie of the year campaign in 2021, Young has missed 22 out of 34 games and has just 1.5 sacks during that time. The Commanders declined Young’s fifth-year option for 2024 this spring, meaning he’ll be a free agent in 2024.
