Ja’Marr Chase leads the Bengals’ offensive line as a key playmaker. His duo with Joe Burrow is one of the most trailblazing in the game. Chase helped Joe Shiesty lead the franchise to the Super Bowl. However, the WR is out of the game for a few weeks and could direly affect The Bengals.
As per PFF, Ja’Marr Chase will miss considerable time due to a hip injury. ESPN’s Adam Schefter added the WR could be out for four to six weeks. Moreover, if the time span increases, he won’t be available until December.

Ja’Marr Chase’s return is open to scrutiny.
Will Ja’Marr Chase move into the IR?
With Ja’Marr Chase going off action due to injury, he is expected to sit out this week’s Monday Night Football game against the Cleveland Browns. But to add more worries in the sack, the WR could move into the injured reserve as well. However, a declaration on his position on the IR could happen within the next few days.

#Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase isn’t expected to play this week and it’s possible he could land on injured reserve in the coming days, sources confirm @wrightreportt to me and @RapSheet. No indication it’s a season-ending injury but an IR stint would mean four weeks minimum.

Ja’Marr Chase will need to sit out for four weeks if he lands on IR. However, the above reports declare it could take four to six weeks for the WR to recover. But Chase’s timeframe appears to be more uncertain.
