Cincinnati Bengals wideout Ja’Marr Chase’s availability is suddenly in question for his team’s Week 6 game against the Green Bay Packers.
Ahead of his Bengals offense starting Joe Flacco on short notice, Chase popped up on the team’s final injury report for the first time all week due to sickness.
Here’s a look at Chase updates as they happen.

How long will Ja’Marr Chase be out?
As of Friday’s final injury report, Chase is officially a 50-50 chance to play. But it’s a very fluid thing given the sudden circumstances and will need to be monitored on an hour-by-hour basis.
Bengals WR depth chart with Ja’Marr Chase out
- Tee Higgins
- Andre Iosivas
- Charlie Jones
- Mitch Tinsley
- Jermaine Burton
If Chase misses time, Higgins becomes the No. 1, Andre Iosivas gets more work and big slot tight end Mike Gesicki could see a ton of snaps. Jermaine Burton hasn’t been able to shake the inactives list because of special teams. Odds are Tinsley would be active and get a look before him at this point.
