Commanders DE Chase Young will be active for Saturday’s game against the 49ers, coach Ron Rivera announced Thursday.
Young said Wednesday that he “definitely” feels closer to being on the field and that he was able to “cut loose” in practice more this week.
Young has not played since tearing the ACL and rupturing the patellar tendon in his right knee last season in Week 10. He was able to start practicing Nov. 2 but has not been active for any games.
