Chase Young diagnosed with a torn ACL, out for the season
Washington Football Team star defensive lineman Chase Young (knee) tore his ACL in Sunday’s win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He is out for the season.
Fantasy Impact
Young exited Sunday’s win early after suffering a non-contact injury to his knee. He underwent evaluation and was diagnosed with a torn ACL. This is a massive blow to a Washington defense that has underwhelmed all year. The former No. 2 overall pick will miss the remainder of the season. Young finishes the 2021 campaign with 26 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles over nine games. The 22-year-old will focus on rehab and look to fully recover for the 2022 season. James Smith-Williams should see an uptick in snaps while Young is sidelined.
