Bengals star receiver Ja’Marr Chase suffered a separated shoulder in Saturday’s win over the Vikings. And according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, he could be out for some time.
Per the Bleacher Report correspondent: “Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase suffered an AC joint sprain, but the team is optimistic about his prognosis moving forward. … Expect Cincinnati to proceed cautiously, as I’m told Chase is likely to miss at ‘least one week’ — putting his status for the Steelers and potentially the Chiefs in jeopardy.”

“Chase pulling up to Burrowhead. This past off season trash talk was too crazy for an injury to end it,” a fan tweeted.

Injuries have been one the story of the season for the Bengals thus far. Let’s hope the two-time Pro Bowler is able to get back on the field sooner than not.
