Injury Reports Suggest Bengals Ace WR Ja’Marr Chase Could Make a Big Comeback Against Derrick Henry’s Moster Truck of a Team

Good news for the Cincy fans as WR Ja’Marr Chase is set to return after he missed the last three games of the season. He proved as one of the most prolific young receivers for the squad and will enter the field in Week 12 against the Titans.

The Bengals’ offense was clearly missing his absence, although won a nail-biting knock against the Steelers. The upcoming week when two contenders from the AFC North and South will lock horns, it would be a treat to watch, especially setting the stage for fans to relish last season’s playoff game between these two teams.

Back then, the Bengals slayed the Titans by a great margin. The loss might still sting for Ryan Tannehill and Co. as they will look to avenge the defeat.

During the Week 6 game against New Orleans, Chase incurred a hip injury. The management didn’t add him to the injured reserve as he would have missed at least four games, minimum.

But the LSU product looks perfectly normal and ready to play, according to the reports shared by Ian Rapoport. “He is improving. Per a recent doctor’s appointment, (Chase) is now off crutches and has a chance to practice this week and actually has a chance to play this week, finally, after missing about a month. There is some optimism about the status of Ja’Marr Chase.” The NFL insider said.

The 22-year-old had a splendid rookie season, and carrying the motivation forward, Chase recorded 47 receptions for 605 yards and six touchdowns in seven games this year. The figures indicate how crucial a role he plays for the team. With six wins and four losses, Cincy is placed second in the division and a seventh seed in the conference.

Ja’Marr Chase broke several records in his rookie season

Picking this gunslinger out of LSU as the sixth overall in the 2021 NFL draft turned out to be a big win for the Bengals. Even before stepping foot inside the arena, he vowed to break all the records in the rookie season.

His athleticism, speed, blaze, and great chemistry with Joe Burrow made him one of the prime targets. In his first season, Chase registered the highest-ever receiving yards by a rookie in the regular season history. He succeeded Justin Jefferson in this contest and recorded 266 yards in a single game. He ranked first in the franchise’s history to do so.

In the history of the NFL, Chase holds the title for most receiving yards in the postseason (279 yards) as a rookie. Thus, it’s fair to say his presence is quite important if they wish to secure a playoff berth this year.
