Ja'Marr Chase

Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase (illness) is active for Week 1’s matchup against the Patriots.

Chase and the Bengals were unable to agree on a new contract before the start of the regular season. Despite a questionable designation, Chase was a full participant in practice this week and went through his normal warmup routine prior to Sunday’s game. It’s possible that his snaps are somewhat limited, though he is still a must-start WR1 when active.
