Ja'Marr Chase Sidelined: Bengals WR Suffers Knee Injury at Practice
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase suffered a left knee injury during practice on Tuesday, forcing him to leave the field early.
Ja'Marr Chase had to leave practice early with a leg injury that he suffered during a pass-play rep. Chase's left knee buckled on the play, leading to some cause for concern among Bengals fans.
Chase appeared to suffer a left knee injury in practice when he landed awkwardly on his leg after going up to catch a ball. He was forced to spend time on the sidelines but didn't need to go to the locker room, a potentially good sign that the injury isn't as bad as it first appeared.
Chase went down awkwardly on a play when he was trying to catch a deep pass from Joe Burrow. Chase immediately grabbed his knee and needed help getting to his feet, although he was able to put weight on his leg with a limp.
The Bengals will likely be careful with Chase as they treat his new injury. If Chase is forced to miss any amount of time, the Bengals will be in for a tough challenge to replace him in the offence.
Chase remained on the field for practice and seemed to be trying to walk off the injury. He was seen having some words with Joe Burrow and an embrace with DJ Turner.
The Bengals' chances this year are built around a few notable stars, and one of those stars has now suffered an injury scare. Cincinnati is likely to be cautious with Chase as they treat his new injury, with the Bengals' offence likely to be impacted if he is forced to miss any time.
The team will likely provide an update on Chase's health status in the coming days. For now, the Bengals will be keeping a close eye on their star wide receiver as he receives treatment for his knee injury.
