Ahead of Sunday’s clash with the Green Bay Packers, Zac Taylor and the Cincinnati Bengals released their final injury report ahead of Week 6 football. Ja’Marr Chase, who has been crucial for the Bengals, is now questionable for the road game against the Packers. However, the good news is that he is not ruled out of the Sunday game yet.

As per CBS Sports reporter Matt Zenitz, “Bengals star wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase, who didn’t practice today and is listed as questionable on Cincinnati’s injury report, is expected to play vs. the #Packers on Sunday.”

Head coach Zac Taylor revealed that Chase got sick late this week, making him questionable on the final report. Now, all eyes are on whether he can bounce back in time. The timing couldn’t be worse, though. The Bengals’ wideout has been on a roll this season with 32 catches, 374 yards, and 3 touchdowns through five games. For Cincinnati, his energy and timing with the quarterback are irreplaceable.

Still, the plan doesn’t change much. The Bengals are counting on Chase to play a crucial role. Even Joe Flacco, in his debut, leaned heavily on Chase. And despite Jake Browning’s struggles last week, Chase still managed two touchdowns against Detroit. That performance alone pushed the front office to bring in Flacco and stabilize the passing game.

But if Chase can’t go, Tee Higgins will step up as WR1, with Andre Iosivas ready to fill in when needed. Plus, don’t sleep on Mike Gesicki—his usage could spike big time if Chase sits. Either way, the Bengals’ air attack is gearing up for Week 6. But the problem is, Chase’s availability isn’t the only headache HC Taylor has.

More trouble for Chase’s Bengal

Guard Dylan Fairchild, dealing with a nagging knee issue, is also questionable. If he can’t go, Dalton Risner is expected to slide in. Meanwhile, Shemar Stewart practiced through an ankle problem all week but remains doubtful. The hope is that he’ll be ready for Thursday’s showdown against the Steelers in Week 7.

Still, the spotlight stays on Chase and Fairchild. Their status could shape how the Bengals approach Sunday’s clash at Lambeau Field. Lucas Patrick, fresh off injured reserve, is questionable too—though multiple full practices this week point in a positive direction. Cincinnati sits at 2-3, and with Joe Flacco taking over as the new QB, Cincinnati is eager to see if the veteran can spark some rhythm and help this team climb back on track.

“I appreciate the organization is trying to make this work,” Bengals star Ja’Marr said to the media this week. “We’ve got a chance. Defense is doing a good enough job for us to help us out. Our playmakers have got to make plays in space. That’s what they [the front office] see, and that’s what they want us to keep doing. They’re just giving us an opportunity to make more of those plays happen.”

Those words sound more like a belief, but also a challenge to everyone in stripes to respond. Now, all eyes turn to Lambeau Field. The game kicks off at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday, and with so many question marks. Who do you think will take the game home?
