The indefinite recovery schedule of his injury has the Bengals in a frenzy as they are at a very critical point in the season with an 8-6 record on their hands. With Chase inactive, some interesting facts from Ian Rapoport come to light.
The Bengals fare without Ja’Marr Chase
Ja’Marr Chase suffered an AC joint injury in the OT game against the Minnesota Vikings. Sadly, the star WR might not be around for some time in the future. A tweet from Ian Rapoport sheds light on his situation and indicates that the Bengals might face tough luck in their future games.
Chase, who suffered an injury in his shoulder will miss the next game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Whether the injury would extend beyond that point is too early to say right now. However, his MRI has confirmed a break from the gridiron at the moment.
Chase played till 4th quarter and led all the receivers with 64 yards before he got injured in his right shoulder and was ruled out. He suffered a separated shoulder, which may be an AC sprain (an injury to the ligaments in the shoulder).
A tweet on X has raised some questions about this analysis of this injury.

Facts about Chase’s injury take a turn
For now, per Zach Taylor, Chase is taking in on a day-to-day basis. Jeff Mueller a Doctor of Physical Therapy and an Injury analyst writes that a ‘shoulder separation’, which was the initial analysis of his situation turned to a ‘mild AC sprain’ and how the two are very different from each other.
The “day to day” reports never made sense when the “shoulder separation” news came out prior. A mild AC sprain is not a shoulder separation. Ja’Marr Chase’s fantasy season is probably done.
#Bengals star WR Ja'Marr Chase is likely to miss some time, sources said after the MRI on his separated shoulder today. The expectation is that he is sidelined for this week’s game against the #Steelers, and it could extend beyond that, as well.
Before being ejected, the receiver was 4 for 4 and went for 64 yards and 3 first downs. He led the receivers in the game. Chase has 93 receptions for 1,156 yards, and 7 touchdowns this season. For now, per Taylor, everything is as it comes with Ja’Marr Chase and his practice schedule might fluctuate depending on his recovery.
