Bengals head coach Zac Taylor was confident early last week that wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase would play against the Patriots in Week One. However, Chase did not practice for the rest of the week, and Taylor started to avoid giving any definite answers about Chase’s status.
This was still the case on Wednesday. Taylor was asked several times at his press conference whether Chase would practice with the team later that day or play in the game against New England.
“We’ll see,” Taylor said. The Bengals will issue a practice report later in the day, so there will be some information about whether Chase is participating.
Updates about Sunday’s game will likely come later in the week, and many people in Cincinnati are eager to see if Chase’s situation is resolved.
