The Washington Commanders will activate defensive end Chase Young to the 53-man roster, but coach Ron Rivera said he's still not sure if he'll play Sunday.
Washington had until Wednesday to activate Young, or he would have been placed on injured reserve for the rest of the season. The Commanders (6-5) play the Atlanta Falcons (5-6) on Sunday.
"We will work him with the intent if he's ready to play he'll play," Rivera said. "If not, we'll wait another week."
Young tore his right ACL on Nov. 14, 2021 and doctors used a graft from his left patella tendon to help repair the right knee, lengthening the recovery process.
