Washington Football Team's Ron Rivera confirms Chase Young out for season with leg injury

ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Football Team received the news it feared: defensive end Chase Young will miss the rest of the season.

Washington coach Ron Rivera made the announcement during his Monday video conference call, confirming what had been reported by multiple outlets Sunday. Rivera said Sunday night that it was "potentially his ACL" but on Monday would only say that it was a leg injury.

"It will end his season," Rivera said.

Young suffered the injury with 7 minutes, 49 seconds left in the second quarter when he rushed quarterback Tom Brady on a third-and-2.
