Bengals receiver Ja’Marr Chase, who missed nearly all of training camp while holding out over a potential contract extension, returned to practice on Wednesday.
Whether or not the three-time Pro Bowler will play in Cincinnati’s season opener against the Patriots on Sunday remains a significant storyline in the lead up to the action.
Bengals coach Zac Taylor said on Tuesday that Chase’s status is day-to-day as the sides negotiate. Chase was seen participating in team drills according to multiple reports.
New England coach Jerod Mayo said the Patriots are preparing as if Chase will play.
