Cincinnati Bengals star wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase suffered an injury scare during practice today.
During a team drill at Tuesday’s training camp practice, Chase ran a deep route to catch a pass from quarterback Joe Burrow. As he came down, he suffered an awkward, non-contact landing, causing his knee to bend unnaturally.
He immediately came up slowly, clutching his left knee. Chase was able to leave the field and make it to the sideline under his own power without the need for a medical cart.

Ja’Marr Chase is arguably the most indispensable non-quarterback player on the Cincinnati Bengals’ roster. He serves as the explosive engine that drives their entire passing offense.
First and foremost, Chase provides the Bengals with historic, top-tier statistical production. Since entering the league, he has consistently been one of the NFL’s most dominant wide receivers.
Last year, he paced the league in targets and pass routes, hauling in a massive 125 receptions for 1,412 yards and 8 touchdowns. Furthermore, he achieved these numbers despite his superstar quarterback, Joe Burrow, missing 9 weeks of the season due to injury.
Consequently, Chase proved that he is not just a product of a great system, but a dynamic playmaker capable of carrying an offense.
