As of now, it appears the Cincinnati Bengals will have Ja’Marr Chase ready for Sunday’s opener vs. the New England Patriots, but it’s far from a given.
Following an extended hold-in that crept into this week, Chase returned to practice on Wednesday, a good sign that he plans to play this week, even if a contract extension is not reached.
However, the Bengals are still preparing for the scenario of Chase not being available this week.
Following Wednesday’s practice, Joe Burrow shared some insight into Chase’s return. Burrow said that Chase looked like he was ready for live game action.
