Ja'Marr Chase Likely To Miss At "Least One Week"

11 months ago

The Cincinnati Bengals are expected to proceed cautiously with star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder), and sources say that Chase is likely to miss at "least one week," putting his status for Saturday's Week 16 contest against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers and potentially the Week 17 game against the Kansas City Chiefs in jeopardy. Chase didn't practice on Tuesday, and fantasy managers should move him to their benches for now in expectation of him sitting out this Saturday. The 23-year-old suffered an AC joint sprain in Saturday's overtime win over the Minnesota Vikings, but the Bengals are optimistic about his prognosis moving forward. It's terrible timing for fantasy managers that advanced to the semifinal matchup in their league this week. Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd are going to see more targets for however long Chase is out.
