When defensive end Chase Young chose not to report to Washington’s voluntary OTA sessions this week, it was always going to be a big story. Young wasn’t the only player not to attend, as fellow defensive end Montez Sweat and veteran left tackle Charles Leno Jr. also were absent.
Young’s situation is a bit different from Sweat’s and Leno’s. With only 1.5 sacks over the last two seasons — of course, Young missed 22 out of 34 games with a devastating knee injury — Young had his fifth-year option declined last month. There is a lot on the line for the former No. 2 overall pick.
