Imagine being a threat to other teams but still hitting the bench because of an injury. Well, this is what happened with Ja’Marr Chase, and we can feel his pain. The wide receiver has been good friends with injuries for quite some time now. And now, there is an update on the Super Bowl player’s injury!

Chase has become a headline player on the team’s injury report just ahead of their game against the Panthers. With a quick turnaround after Monday night’s loss, the Bengals released an estimated injury report on Wednesday. And here is a kicker!

As per Dayton Daily News beat writer Laurel Pfahler, “Ja’Marr Chase is estimated as limited with a shoulder injury.” Moreover, the Bengals are holding a walkthrough later. Chase showed up as “limited” on the estimated injury report because of a shoulder issue. Surprising, isn’t it?

While fans are keeping their fingers crossed to see the key player hit the gridiron again, the rest of the week can clarify what the status of Ja’Marr might be! However, the WR just had a standout game with two touchdowns in a tough loss to Washington. This is the first time we have heard about any injury after such an impressive performance!

Ja’Marr Chase and injuries go hand in hand

Ja’Marr Chase has faced several injuries throughout his career. Unfortunately, the wide receiver was dealing with an illness before Week 1, right after the contract drama where he felt misled by the team. If that wasn’t enough, he got hit with a massive fine from the NFL after his altercation with an official.

So, honestly, it wouldn’t feel like a typical week this season without Chase being in the spotlight in some way! For this week, his recent shoulder issue has raised fresh concerns. After a stellar two-touchdown game, Chase was listed as “limited” on the Bengals‘ injury report due to this shoulder problem.

This is the first time an injury has been mentioned since his strong performance, which has fans and analysts on edge. Chase’s injury history isn’t new—last year, he missed a game due to a shoulder A/C joint sprain, and in 2022, he battled a hip fracture that briefly sidelined him.
