Injuries are a part of the game but the Bengals have had a miserable season as they have decimated their key playmakers. Obviously the most substantial one was the season-ending injury of Joe Burrow in a rivalry showdown with the ravens, up-and-coming defensive back Cam Taylor-Britt has landed on injured reserve with an ankle injury and both of Cincinnati’s elite defensive ends Trey Hendrickson and Sam Hubbard have missed time throughout the season. Finally, Cincinnati seems to have caught a break in the injury department.
Bengals Superstar Wide Receiver says he will ‘100%’ Play on Saturday
Cincinnati’s outstanding third-year receiver Ja’Marr Chase is confident that he will be suiting up against the Minnesota Vikings. To be exact about his words, Chase said “I’m going to play: 100%”.
Chase was the victim of an ankle injury in last weeks dominant win over the Indianapolis Colts. Over the course of the week, Chase didn’t practice until Wednesday. That is fairly common in what is known as a maintenance practice where he essentially sat out just for the sake of rest in the most physically intense practices early in the week.
Cincinnati has relied heavily on Chase this year with the uncertainty position as he has already broken the franchise record for receptions in a season (89). He has been the most consistent part of the offense up until now and Cincinnati will be thrilled to be able to rely on him for the must-win game on Saturday.
Fans will certainly follow Head Coach Zac Taylors advice to ‘drink another one’ now that the offense has its most dangerous target.
