Bengals Get Injury Scare as Ja’Marr Chase Exits Jaguars Game With Head Injury
Ja'Marr Chase left the Bengals game against the Jaguars after suffering a scary-looking head injury in the first half.
In a game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Cincinnati Bengals' star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase suffered a head injury and was ruled out for the rest of the match. Chase had been a crucial offensive asset for the Bengals, leading the team with 18 catches for 185 yards and three touchdowns this season. The incident occurred in the second quarter when a defensive player twisted Chase's helmet awkwardly while holding him by the facemask, followed by another defensive player jumping on him as he was down.
Two penalties were called on Jacksonville for the initial facemask and an unnecessary hit on Chase. Despite teammates checking on him, Chase eventually entered the medical tent due to a concussion. The injury scare came just after the Bengals had lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers in their previous game. With Chase sidelined, his return timeline is uncertain, and he might miss the next game or even more.
The Bengals' next match is against the Miami Dolphins, who have been struggling with a winless start. Cincinnati then faces the Baltimore Ravens on October 25th.
