Washington head coach Ron Rivera confirmed Monday that Young (knee) suffered a season-ending ACL tear in Sunday's 29-19 win over Tampa Bay, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Young's injury dims the luster of what was the best win of the season for Washington. The No. 2 overall selection in the 2020 NFL Draft will miss the remainder of the season, and his recovery could stretch into the 2022 campaign as well. He wraps up his second season with 26 tackles and 1.5 sacks in nine games.

Young (knee) might have suffered a torn ACL, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Washington will wait for a full battery of tests, but if the diagnosis is confirmed, that would knock the star defender out for the rest of the season.

Young (knee) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Young refused to get on the cart and was helped off the field before eventually departing the gridiron. There's no question his absence represents a big blow to Washington's defense, and this will open up more playing time for the likes of James Smith-Williams or Olubunmi Rotimi.

Young managed three tackles (one solo), one sack and a forced fumble during Washington's loss to New Orleans in Week 5.

EDGE Analysis

Young finally managed to notch his first sack of the season, but there's no doubt that his performance through five weeks has been disappointing for fantasy managers. After managing 7.5 sacks as a rookie, Young has failed to put together much in the way of consistency to begin his sophomore season. He will need to log a better showing during the Football Team's upcoming contest against Kansas City.

Young was impressive at June minicamp and appears ready to take a step forward in his second pro season, Sam Fortier of The Washington reports.

EDGE Analysis

The second overall pick from last year's draft enjoyed a stellar rookie campaign, finishing the regular season with 44 tackles, 7.5 sacks, four forced fumble, three fumble recoveries and a touchdown in 15 games. Young didn't participate in the voluntary portion of Washington's offseason program, but his return for June minicamp proves he's healthy and in good shape. He may soon emerge as an annual threat to lead the NFL in sacks.

Young (ankle), who logged three tackles in Washington's playoff loss to the Buccaneers on Saturday, finished the 2020 regular season with 44 tackles, 7.5 sacks and four forced fumbles.

EDGE Analysis

Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Young was limited late in Saturday's game with what's being described as a mild ankle sprain. It's the sort of injury that would have been an issue for the pass rusher had Washington advanced, but the No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft will now have the entire offseason to heal up and prepare for his second year as a pro. Looking ahead to next season, Young, who turns 22 in April, will continue to be a key pass-rushing cog on his team's stout front four while working in a starting defensive end role.

Young had four tackles (three solo), a sack, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 20-13 loss to Carolina.

EDGE Analysis

Young recovered his own strip-sack early in the third quarter, keeping Washington in the game after the Panthers had moved the ball down to the red zone with a 20-3 lead. It took a while for any rally to get going, but Young and the rest of the defense certainly did their part to give the offense a shot at a comeback. While his 6.5 sacks through 14 games might seem slightly disappointing for a No. 2 overall pick, Young has made some huge plays in December, including a 47-yard fumble return for touchdown in the Week 14 win over San Francisco. He should have plenty of to impact the game in Week 17, as Eagles QB Jalen Hurts has attempted 30, 44 and 39 passes in his three starts, giving up nine sacks and six fumbles (two lost).

Young had six tackles (two solo), two pass defenses, a sack, a forced fumble and a fumble recovered for a touchdown in Sunday's 23-15 win over the 49ers.

EDGE Analysis

Young dominated the first half, starting with a sack in the first quarter. He then forced a fumble in the second quarter, and DL Da'Ron Payne scooped it up for Washington. A few minutes later, the two players switched roles, with Payne knocking the ball loose on a sack and Young returning it 47 yards for a touchdown. The rookie also had a hand in some key tackles and pass breakups late in the game, so it's probably safe to call this his best work yet as a pro. Now up to 5.5 sacks through 12 games, Young has a good chance to add to his total in Week 15, as Seattle's Russell Wilson has taken the second-most sacks (40) of any QB this year.

Young collected one tackle during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Giants, that being a sack of Daniel Jones.

EDGE Analysis

Even on an afternoon in which the No. 2 overall draft choice yielded just one total tackle, he still somehow found a way to get to the quarterback, taking down Jones for a second-quarter sack. Young had entered Week 9 amidst a four-game sackless streak, though a groin injury suffered Week 3 against Cleveland may have contributed to the drought. Now having returned to the sack column, Young focuses his attention on a Week 10 road trip to Detroit.

Young finished with six tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 25-3 victory over Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

Young ended the contest tied for the team lead with six tackles, the best performance of his young career. The defensive end was on the field for 82 percent of Washington's defensive snaps.
