Ja'Marr Chase says he is fine after practice knee scare
The Bengals receiver eased concern after leaving practice with a left knee issue, saying he avoided a serious injury.
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase said he is fine after a practice scare on Tuesday in which he appeared to hurt his left knee. The team had briefly worried about the All-Pro receiver after the awkward play at training camp.
According to reports from ESPN and CBS Sports, Chase went down awkwardly during the session and later walked off on his own. He described the problem as a hyperextension and indicated he did not suffer a major injury.
The update is a relief for Cincinnati with the season approaching, as Chase remains one of the team's key offensive players. The Bengals did not immediately report any further concern beyond the initial evaluation.
Chase has been one of the NFL's top receivers since entering the league, and his health is closely watched by Cincinnati as it prepares for the coming season.
