Cincinnati Bengals' star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase sustained a concussion during the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The injury occurred when Chase caught a pass from quarterback Joe Burrow and was tackled by Jaguars cornerback Jarrian Jones, who grabbed Chase's facemask, and linebacker Ventrell Miller, who delivered a subsequent hit. Chase's head struck the turf hard during the play. (cbssports.com)
Chase remained on the ground for several moments before walking off the field under his own power. He was initially evaluated in the medical tent and then taken to the locker room for further assessment. The Bengals later announced that Chase was being evaluated for a concussion and was questionable to return. (nbcsports.com)
Prior to the injury, Chase had recorded three receptions for 26 yards. Entering the game, he had accumulated 18 receptions for 185 yards and three touchdowns over the first three games of the season. (cbssports.com)
The Bengals' receiving corps is already dealing with injuries, as wide receiver Andrei Iosivas is on injured reserve with a thumb injury. The loss of Chase further depletes the team's offensive options. (thescore.com)
As of now, Chase's status for the upcoming games remains uncertain, pending further evaluation and adherence to the NFL's concussion protocol.
