Commanders head coach Ron Rivera said Monday that Washington will designate Young (knee) to return from the reserve/PUP list Wednesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Young is slated to return to practice Wednesday, which will open a 21-day period for him to be added to the active roster. The 23-year-old suffered ACL and MCL tears last season and is barely more than a year removed from the initial injury. Despite the optimistic report, it's likely Washington is cautious and opts to work Young back to game action slowly.
