Ja'Marr Chase's response to topic of Travis Hunter's growth? Crickets

In preparation for a Week 4 matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and Jacksonville Jaguars at Paycor Stadium, Cincinnati Bengals receiver Ja Marr Chase provided no comment when probed about the progress of Jaguars defensive back/receiver Travis Hunter from his rookie campaign into his second season. At a press conference on October 1, Chase appeared momentarily at a loss for words, shaking his head and stating, "Ummm," before adding, "That's all I've got."

Travis Hunter, the second overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, unfortunately suffered an apparent injury during the second quarter of the Bengals-Jaguars game in Week 2 of the previous season. After Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow left the field due to a toe injury, Hunter stumbled off the field moments later. Despite returning to play on offense shortly after, Hunter was penalized for pass interference on a fourth down late in the game.

Hunter's rookie season saw him participating in seven games before the Jaguars placed him on injured reserve in October. The rookie managed his first interception in the NFL during Jacksonville's Week 1 victory against the Cleveland Browns.
