Cincinnati Bengals wideout Ja’Marr Chase was one of the first announced players for the 2026 Pro Bowl Games.
No great shock there. Chase is once again enjoying an elite season, this time with 110 catches for 1,256 yards and five scores through 14 games.

Chase’s numbers, especially compared to last year’s 17 touchdowns, are a tad down. But Pro Bowl voters fully understand he only had Joe Burrow under center for the first two games of the season, then went through Jake Browning and Joe Flacco before getting Burrow back a few weeks ago.

As for other Bengals in the voting process, Tee Higgins, DJ Turner and Charlie Jones (kick returner) are alternates.
Given the way players usually drop out of the Pro Bowl for one reason or another, Higgins and Turner (second and third alternates, respectively) might get a chance to go play in the Games if they want.
