Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase exited Sunday’s matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars due to a concussion sustained in the first half. The injury occurred after Chase’s facemask was twisted by Jaguars defender Jarrian Jones, who was penalized for the infraction, followed by a hard hit from Ventrell Miller. Chase remained on the ground briefly before receiving treatment from the Bengals’ medical staff on the field. He was able to walk off independently and proceeded to the medical tent before heading to the locker room.
Initially listed as questionable to return, Chase was subsequently ruled out for the remainder of the contest. Prior to the injury, Chase had caught all three of his targets for 26 yards. The Bengals trailed 3-0 at the time of the incident and tied the game on a subsequent field goal by Evan McPherson, entering halftime down 13-3.
Chase has been a productive force for Cincinnati through the team’s early season schedule. The Pro Bowler in each of his first six NFL seasons caught 18 passes for 185 yards and three touchdowns during the Bengals’ initial three contests. In the previous week’s 30-27 loss to the Steelers, he accumulated nine receptions on 12 targets for 98 yards and one touchdown.
