Winning away games isn’t easy in the NFL and that especially could be the case for the Jacksonville Jaguars who’ve ended the last two football seasons with the worst record in football. However, when it comes to the Jags’ Week 1 game against the Washington Commanders, their chances to win became a little better than expected on Friday.
The reason for that is because the Commanders won’t have their top pass-rusher in Chase Young, who is still in the process of recovering from an ACL tear he sustained on Nov. 14 against the Tampa Bay Bucs. Commanders coach Ron Rivera revealed the news Friday on the “Sports Junkies” show on 106.7 The Fan.
Rivera: "Going into the season, he will not play the first game, let me put it that way. He will not be ready for Week 1."
