– Despite being activated from the IR this week, it is expected Chase Young will sit out at least one more week according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. However, if he does play, Ron Rivera told reporters to expect him to only play 10 to 15 snaps.

Washington’s defense currently ranks fifth in the NFL in total pressures.

Benjamin St. Juste will be inactive this week after suffering an ankle injury. He’s been huge for Washington’s defense, allowing just a 50.8 completion percentage when targeted.

– Safety Nasir Adderly is expected to be inactive after suffering a thumb injury in the loss to the Chiefs.
