Chase Young’s season has come to an end.
The superstar defensive end suffered an injury Sunday against the Buccaneers and the early fear was that he tore his ACL. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
Well, we now know the extent of his injury and it’s not good.
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.

This is really unfortunate for Washington, Young and the fans. He’s one of the best players and his season has now come to an early end.
It’s a blow right to the gut of the WTF and football fans everywhere.
CHASE YOUNG…🙏🏽😔#WashingtonFootball | #TBvsWAS

The good news is that Young is insanely athletic and he should be able to bounce back and rehab throughout the course of the offseason.

I have no doubt at all that Young will heal up and be back in prime form for the 2022 season. The man is a freak of nature, and this is just as small setback before a huge comeback.
