Luckily, we are a "Dual Trent" team....

He just got a couple of very limited practices doing some basic drills. He needs at least a full week of solid practice,, with no setbacks, before you throw him back out there. 

Then I'm not sure why he wasn't placed on IR as everything seems to have worked out as good as you could possibly have hoped for and he's still gonna miss 4 games anyway. I get that it's real life but the dude played an entire game on said injury. I'm just suggesting that he's the perfect position that you can ease into a game and limit the stress on him.

hurt and injury are two different things.. once he or the staff realized this was more than just being hurt, they shut him down and still are

On one hand you don’t want to rush him, but it seems many were calling for the Chiefs game as his return, which if that’s the case, they should have just IR’d him. He’d still be able to return for the Chiefs and they wouldn’t be holding a roster spot for an injured player.

Ya maybe I should a little lol. Brother in law is a titan fan and I want this one bad. The more I think though after talking Burrow up so much, winning without chase and Mixon would be even better..

I don't have a good feeling about this game without Chase but it was probably unrealistic to expect him to make his big plays just coming back from injury. Just seems like it's worked out as good as we could hope so unless the doctors aren't clearing him or he's dealing with pain no sure why he's not playing.

I wish he would play even limited but Tennessee has their best dbs out. So Higgins and Boyd could eat. If Chase was there it would be a wrap. Just hope we aren't missing a huge opportunity here. The Titans are very beatable.  Burrow 2-0 against them..

I swear you aren't a Bengals fan at all... 

You hate Burrow so much just go be a charger fan and enjoy the losses and picks with your boy Herbert. He ain't even in the discussion with Burrow anymore. Wouldn't be surprised if Tua is your new crush now.

Maybe it's all just to throw the titans off. He's still listed as gametime decision. Nothing official from the team..

Do they have they're best DBs out? It seems like the ones that have been starting are going to be playing. But that's exactly what I'm worried about as far as I think this is a winnable game and if we let it slip away we are in trouble. Not only could Chase change the coverage but I think it's unrealistic to expect Chase to have a big impact with his play on the field his first game back and that's what we'll be hoping for against the Chiefs.

Burrow and the Bengals have known the entire time that Chase wasn't going to play this week. They wanted to give the Titans one more thing to worry about in practice. The entire thing felt like a decoy.

Bengals doing what good teams should be doing.

The last thing I heard from Zac, who is the only person who knows, it is truly a game time decision. That was yesterday. As for all the IR talk, it doesn't bother me they didn't IR him. Who were they going to put on the roster in his place who would help, or even see the field. I'm sure if someone became available for some reason, they would gave moved accordingly

Ian Rapoport is also reporting that Chase is not likely to play today. Seems like Schultz was likely right.

Damn Schultz giving the Titans a heads up!

He may not play. All I'm saying is Taylor still hasn't declared it yet unless he did so this morning. Frankly, while it would be great to have him, I don't feel like we need him to win today like I would if we were playing KC. With the Titans hurting at DB, Boyd, Higgins, Hurst and the Trents should be more than enough receivers to get the job done. Perine and Evans on the ground, all those wanting Evans to get more playing time, well this is his shot.

That's a credible source. not as credible as Schefter though. on yahoo it says he probably wont play not definitely.

Yeah, I'd prefer him to be completely ready for KC. The Titans are good, I don't mean to discredit them but I view KC as the cream of the crop so if they have any doubts about him, just let him rest.

I want to see Jamarr play as much as anyone but I would also add if they have any doubts about him against KC, let him rest. Hip injuries can ruin careers, make sure he’s right before bringing him back.

Higgins and Boyd Show.
So be it.
