The 2026 NFL season has already produced plenty of drama around the Cincinnati Bengals, who entered today’s matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars at 2-1.
Chase came into the game after a strong start to the season and remained one of the biggest threats in Cincinnati’s offense. His connection with Burrow has made him central to what the Bengals want to do through the air.
That made the latest development involving Chase concerning for Cincinnati. The Bengals now have to wait for more information before knowing what the injury could mean for their star receiver.

Ja’Marr Chase suffered a head injury during today’s game against the Jaguars and was evaluated after taking a hard hit. He remained on the ground for several minutes before eventually walking off the field under his own power.
The Bengals later provided an update on Chase, confirming that the wide receiver was being evaluated after the play.
Chase had entered Week 4 as one of the most productive players in Cincinnati’s offense. Through three games, he had recorded 18 receptions for 185 yards and three touchdowns.
Chase was not listed among Cincinnati’s inactive players before kickoff. The Bengals’ official Week 4 inactive list included Bryan Cook, Kyle Dugger, Swayze Bozeman, Myles Hinton, Colbie Young, B.J. Hill and Landon Robinson.
What is the latest on Ja’Marr Chase’s injury?
The Bengals have not announced a definitive diagnosis or recovery timeline for Chase. That means there is still uncertainty surrounding his status beyond Sunday’s game.
Any additional update from the Bengals should provide more clarity on whether Chase has suffered a short-term setback or could face an absence. The team will also have to monitor his progress before determining his availability for its next game.
