Chase was running a deep route against cornerback D.J. Turner II and went up for a pass from Joe Burrow. Turner got a hand on the ball, and Chase landed awkwardly on his left leg before immediately grabbing his knee. The initial video was concerning because Chase appeared to favor his left knee and had to hobble toward the sideline. Athletic trainers examined him, but Chase was able to leave the field under his own power. He remained around the team rather than heading to the locker room and was later seen moving around and talking with teammates. The Bengals ultimately kept him out for the remainder of practice as a precaution. The good news came after practice. Chase described the injury as a “little hyperextension” of his left knee and said he was feeling fine. He told reporters he believed he could have continued practicing, but said the Bengals pulled him from the session. Most encouragingly, Chase said that if Cincinnati had a game the following day, he would be ready to play. That makes Tuesday’s incident look considerably less serious than it initially appeared. There has been no indication from the Bengals that Chase suffered a major structural injury, and current reports characterize the issue as a minor knee hyperextension. Still, Cincinnati has every reason to be cautious with its most important offensive player this close to the regular season. Chase is coming off an outstanding 2025 season in which he caught 125 passes for 1,412 yards and eight touchdowns, earning first-team All-Pro honors. With the Bengals’ season opener approaching, the priority will be keeping him healthy rather than pushing him through additional preseason work.
