Ja'Marr Chase Unlikely To Play In Week 17?

Ja'Marr Chase Unlikely To Play In Week 17?

11 months ago

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) did not practice with the team on Wednesday as he continues to deal with a separated right shoulder that he suffered in the Week 15 overtime win over the Minnesota Vikings. Chase's injury has a two- to four-week timetable, so NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said he'd be surprised if Chase is ready to play in Week 17 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The 23-year-old All-Pro pass-catcher is making some progress with his shoulder, but fantasy managers shouldn't hold out hope that they'll have him available for championship matchups this weekend. If Chase misses another game this Sunday, which seems more likely than not, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd will continue to operate as quarterback Jake Browning's top two targets in the passing game against an underrated Chiefs defense on the road.
