Chase Avoids Serious Injury After Practice Hyperextension, Bengals Optimistic
Ja'Marr Chase avoided a serious left-leg injury after a Tuesday practice, saying a hyperextension would have allowed him to continue. The star receiver, who followed a 2024 triple crown with a four-year, $161 million extension and posted solid numbers in 2025, did so even as Joe Burrow missed nine weeks with a turf-toe injury earlier in the season. While losing Chase would be costly for Cincinnati, this update suggests he’s healthy heading into the season.
