- Ja'Marr Chase suffered a concussion during Cincinnati's 22-17 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday, lying flat on his back for several seconds before leaving the field and heading to the locker room
- Jaguars cornerback Jarrian Jones dragged Chase down by his face mask following a second-quarter catch, drawing a penalty, and Chase absorbed a second hit on his way to the turf at Paycor Stadium
- Before the injury, Chase had been held to three catches for 27 yards in the game
- Chase had not missed a game due to injury since 2023, when a shoulder injury sidelined him for Week 15 against the Pittsburgh Steelers
- Chase is a two-time All-Pro selection and has been named a Pro Bowler in each of his five NFL seasons
Why it matters: Chase is the centerpiece of Cincinnati's passing attack — a two-time All-Pro and every-year Pro Bowler — and his potential absence under concussion protocol directly threatens an already-struggling Bengals offense that managed just 17 points at home. With the team now 0-4 and their star receiver's timeline uncertain, Cincinnati faces a stretch without its most indispensable weapon.
