The Commanders’ defensive end hurt his neck in the first preseason game. The team is still hopeful he will play Sept. 10 against the Cardinals.
Commanders defensive end Chase Young has progressed in his recovery from a stinger he suffered in the team’s first preseason game, but he has not yet been medically cleared for full contact.
One of those people remains hopeful Young will be ready for Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals on Sept. 10, but his status is uncertain.Stingers occur when the nerves in the neck and shoulder are stretched or compressed after contact. The team did not place Young on short-term injured reserve after forming the initial 53-man roster Tuesday, which indicated Young might’ve been close to being cleared. He attended practice Wednesday and Thursday and is expected to see a doctor next week.
“The guy is practicing and doing everything we need him to do right now as he’s getting ready for the opener,” Coach Ron Rivera said after Thursday’s workout. “I have no idea what the doctor’s going to do, but I do know right now that he’s told him he can continue to progress and get himself ready to go. So, until then, there’s nothing we can tell you, nothing we can say..
Young appeared to suffer the injury on his fourth snap against the Cleveland Browns, in which he nearly sacked quarterback Deshaun Watson. The team shut him down for the remainder of the game, and he did not practice fully the following week, when the team held joint workouts with the Baltimore Ravens.
