Washington Commanders Head Coach Ron Rivera spoke to the media after today’s practice in the bubble. He opened with some good news about Chase Young, he will play for the first time in over 13 months. Young had ACL reconstruction surgery and also dealt with a ruptured patellar tendon. He has been on the 53-man roster since being activated from the Reserve/PUP list, but has been listed as questionable every week, only to be inactive on gamedays.
Rivera said Young had another good week, and had a followup meeting with Dr. James Andrews who performed his surgery. That helped put him over the hump over whatever reservations/issues were keeping him from playing.
