Report: Commanders' Chase Young Expected to Return vs. Texans After Knee Injury

Washington Commanders defensive end Chase Young is reportedly expected to make his return next week, roughly one year after tearing his ACL and MCL.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter (h/t ESPN's John Keim), the Commanders are expected to activate Young from the physically unable to perform list this week and play him against the Houston Texans on Sunday.

Young returned to practice on Nov. 2, opening a 21-day window for him to be activated by the team.

Washington placed the 23-year-old on the PUP list ahead of the 2022 campaign. The decision was made as he recovered from a torn ACL and MCL that limited him to just nine games in 2021.
