Chase Brown Dealing With Chest Injury

Chase Brown Dealing With Chest Injury

11 months ago

Cincinnati Bengals rookie running back Chase Brown (sternum) is on the Week 16 injury report after being listed as limited in the team's first practice of the week on Tuesday. It's an injury that shouldn't keep Brown from playing in Week 16 against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers, but it's something worth watching. The 23-year-old fifth-round pick has been much more involved in Cincy's backfield the last three games after seeing virtually zero involvement in his first six games. Brown has 24 rushing attempts for 109 yards (4.54 yards per carry) and has caught all six of his targets for 108 yards and a touchdown in the passing game in the last three weeks. If he's active on Saturday, he could see an elevated role in the passing game if lead receiver Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) is out. Brown wasn't used at all on offense in the team's first meeting against the Steelers in Week 11.
