Chase Young to reserve/PUP list; out at least first four games

Right now we're in playoff contention, so that's potentially 6+ games to get back in game shape and see where he's at. If nothing else the coaching staff will want that game film. If he's put on ice until camp, he's going to have to get up to game speed in camp. I'd bet it would be game 2 or 3 next year before he's good. Why put him on ice if he might be a top pass rusher by game 15 or 16? Who wouldn't want that against the 49ers, Browns and Cowgirls?

Saw a quote on the twitter feed of one of the local journo's, may have been Keim, that I thought was interesting and is relevant to Young. The arrival/return of Kerrigan as an assisstant coach was heavily credited with the maturing of Montez Sweats game. If you think about it, it was after Kerrigan left last year that the DE play was killing the gap control and was driving Ron mad. This year, admittedly after the firing of Mills, they are far more scheme sound in terms of containing the edges. I this is true, hopefully it has a similar effect on Young. As others have said, I think it is important to get Young back on the field and knocking the rust off as long as he is fit to do so. Holding him out any longer will affect his game mentally. Also saw a report that Ron sat down with Chase in the offseason to watch film and point out what he was doing differently last year compared to his college days and rookie year, which will also hopefully have a positive impact.
