Byron Young Injury News & Updates

Young (groin) played in Saturday's preseason loss to the Browns and finished with two tackles (both solo).

Young spent some time sidelined last weekend due to a groin issue, but he was able to return to practice Tuesday and was healthy enough to play Saturday. A 2023 third-round pick by Las Vegas, Young is looking to earn a roster spot with Philadelphia after not playing at all during his first campaign with the Eagles last year.

Young (groin) participated during Tuesday's training camp practice, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.

Young had been missing practice time and preseason snaps due to a groin issue, but it now appears he's back in playing shape ahead of Saturday's preseason contest versus the Browns. A big performance in that game could do a lot to help his chances of ultimately making Philadelphia's final 53-man roster.

Young (arm/groin) did not participate in Saturday's training camp practice, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Young appeared to injure his arm during Monday's practice, but he is now dealing with a groin injury that caused him to miss the Eagles' preseason win over the Bengals on Thursday. Young caught on with Philadelphia last August after being cut by the Raiders at the conclusion of training camp, but the 2023 third-rounder didn't play a single snap last season, mostly due to a hamstring injury that landed him on injured reserve in late October. He's battling for a spot on the Eagles' 53-man roster as a rotational defensive end, so he'll look to progress enough in his recovery to return to practice and be available for Philadelphia's second exhibition game against Cleveland on Saturday, Aug. 16.

Young exited practice Sunday gripping his left arm and isn't practicing Monday, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.

Young had been participating in training camp prior to this arm injury, indicating that he had recovered from the hamstring injury that prevented him from seeing any game action in 2024. It remains to be seen if the 2023 third-round draft pick of the Raiders will recover from this new injury in time to play in Philadelphia's preseason opener against the Bengals on Thursday.

Young (hamstring) had his 21-day practice window expire Wednesday, making him ineligible from being activated from injured reserve before Super Bowl LIX against the Chiefs on Sunday, Feb. 9, per the NFL's transaction log.

Young was claimed off waivers be the Eagles in late August after being let go by the Raiders at the end of training camp. He suffered a hamstring injury in mid-October, which was severe enough for him to be placed on injured reserve. Young had his 21-day practice window to return from IR open Jan. 8, but he wasn't able to progress enough in his recovery to be cleared to play in any of the Eagles' three playoff games, and with his 21-day practice window closing he will remain on IR and miss the Super Bowl. The 2023 third-round pick played in six regular-season games with Las Vegas in his rookie season, finishing with four solo tackles.

Young (hamstring), who remains on IR, practiced in full Friday but is ruled out for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Commanders.

Young will remain on IR for a third consecutive playoff game, but his 21-day practice window won't expire until Jan. 29, so he could still be available for the Super Bowl in the event that the Eagles advance over Washington. The second-year nose tackle is attempting to make his 2024 debut.

Young (hamstring) practiced in full Friday but is ruled out for Sunday's home divisional-round contest against Los Angeles, sadga reports.

Young officially remains on IR, so even though he's been ruled out for the NFC Divisional Round, it's possible Philadelphia opts to activate him in the near future, if only to preserve his eligibility to contribute later in the playoffs. The second-year nose tackle hasn't yet suited up for action during the 2024 campaign.

Young (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Young has been on injured reserve since late October due to a hamstring injury. He returned to practice last week and was a full participant in all three sessions, but he wasn't able to progress enough in his recovery to play in this past Sunday's NFC wild-card game against the Packers. If Young is able to practice in full all of this week, he would have a good chance of being activated off IR ahead of Sunday's NFC divisional-round clash against the Rams.

Young, who is on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury, has been ruled out for Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Packers.

Young has been on IR since late October due to a hamstring issue. He was designated to return to practice Wednesday and logged a trio of full practices during the week but isn't quite ready to suit up.

Philadelphia designated Young (hamstring) for return to practice from its injured reserve list Wednesday, Chris McPherson of the Eagles' official site reports.

The Eagles placed Young (hamstring) on injured reserve Friday.

Young was unable to practice all week due to a hamstring injury, which is severe enough for him to warrant a multi-game absence. He will be forced to miss at least the next four regular-season games, making Week 12 against the Rams on Sunday, Nov. 24 the earliest he can return. The 2023 third-round pick was claimed off waivers by Eagles in late August but has yet to appear in a regular-season game.

Young (undisclosed) was placed on the PUP list Friday, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
