Chase Young to reserve/PUP list; out at least first four games

Washington Commanders move Chase Young to reserve/PUP list; DE out at least first four games (https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/34447038/washington-commanders-move-chase-young-reserve-pup-list-de-least-first-4-games)

No surprise here, I bet we won't see him on the field until closer to midseason

I hope he takes as long as needed.

Young man, big career and achievements ahead of him.

Full Chase Young update, per a source: ACL surgery was more significant than most because he also suffered a fully ruptured patella — which is why he’s starting out on reserve PUP.

Impressive all-around recovery: #Commanders plan for Young’s return Week 5 vs #Titans.

Ruptured patella?

Thats new info to me.

Must mean a ruptured patella tendon and not a fractured patella/knee cap.

So far he hasn’t lived up to the hype. If he doesn’t play much this year it’ll be time to call him a bust. Hopefully that’s not the case…

That'll be unfairly fast IMO. One DROY season, one disappointing season and one potentially injured season and he'd be a bust? I'd say a second consecutive underwhelming season would be enough, but not if it's injury related.

This is interesting. I wouldn't be surprised to learn he was playing with an injury before he tore his ACL. Either way I won't expect him back until November - when do we ever get good news about long term injuries healing better than expected?

Logan Thomas coming back was pretty good news

Even if he comes back quicker than expected he's kinda injury prone too - I will always worry about his health when he plays. How many concussions has he racked up?

The pounding these guys take is really incredible. I just hope we can get through the season without anything major -- putting aside that it derails our season (because we don't have enough depth to weather a bunch of injuries), I just hate seeing what it does to these guys. Alex Smith lives in my town, and while I haven't seen him often, and I recognize that he played for a bunch of years, he's still a relatively young guy and he's been through hell and back.
