“Initial Fear” Is Washington DE Chase Young Tore His ACL & Could Be Done For The Year

Washington defensive end Chase Young was helped off the field during the second quarter of Sunday’s game against the Buccaneers after suffering an non-contact injury and refusing to get on a cart.

Young waved the cart off and instead walked into the locker room with the help of trainers. The team quickly announced the 22-year-old has been ruled out for the rest of the game.

Things only got worse as NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that initial fear is that he suffered a blown ACL.

The initial fear for Washington DE Chase Young is a torn ACL, source said. The team is awaiting a full battery of tests, but if the diagnosis is confirmed, that would, of course, knock him out for the season.
