Ja'Marr Chase Likely To Miss Some Time

11 months ago

Cincinnati Bengals star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) is likely to miss some time after undergoing an MRI exam on his separated shoulder on Monday, according to sources. Chase is expected to be sidelined for this Saturday's game against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 16, and his absence could extend beyond that, too. It's pretty bad news for the Bengals as they chase a playoff spot in the AFC and Chase's fantasy managers with the semifinals in finals upcoming in most leagues. The 23-year-old suffered an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder in Saturday's overtime win over the Minnesota Vikings. Fantasy managers should plan to be without him for at least this week. If Chase is ultimately ruled out, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd will see more targets, while rookie running back Chase Brown should remain heavily involved in the short passing game.
