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.

Eagles' Byron Young: Dealing with groin injury
Rotowire
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.

Eagles' Byron Young: Won't return from IR
Rotowire
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 by 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.
