With a high number of injuries and Derek Carr's contract set to end in a few months,

[{"selector":"#anim-11908777-621a-4003-83f9-5b9ee9d9be5b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, 7.871373143723144%, 0)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":6000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6f079ebb-6953-4204-8237-ab221daab2de","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2e11042a-a8cd-4662-91e3-787b7c776366","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(103.36788%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

this move has come as no surprise to fans.

Washington looks promising with a lot of front-line talent, but they still miss Young.

He was a Pro Bowl and Defensive Rookie of the Year in the 2020 season,

but a groin injury sidelined him and he only played nine games.

With so much time spent injured, Young has a lot of expectations going into the new season.

Young will be given time to heal and not rushed back just to have the team see if

he can live up to these expectations as well as understand that he needs more time to properly heal.
