Ja'Marr Chase (hip) "on track" to play Sunday for Bengals
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (hip) is "on track" to play Week 13 against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, per head coach Zac Taylor.
What It Means:
Chase is trending toward playing for the first time since Week 7, but there is a chance that the Bengals limit his snap count in the first game back. Even then, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd will have reduced volume if Chase is cleared.
numberFire's models project Chase for 9.5 targets, 6.0 receptions, and 78.5 yards in Week 13. Per numberFire's advanced efficiency metrics, the Chiefs have the No. 13 pass defense and No. 24 run defense in the league this season.
