Dehner is reporting it as a fracture. This is actually better than a torn labrum or hip flexor which would be season ending. Now it is just a matter of healing
4 games on IR puts him out for Cleveland, Carolina, Bye, Pittsburgh, Tennessee. This is the softest part of our remaining schedule.
How long will Chase be out?
Nobody can know for sure. Despite a significant short-term setback, the prognosis is relatively positive in the long run. Hip injuries can have career-altering implications and end a season when requiring surgery. That is not necessary here. Chase just needs to keep weight off the hip and let the bone heal. The Bengals merely hope there’s enough season left for Chase to come back to when it does.
"A few noted receivers reportedly on the block are Denver’s Jerry Jeudy, Houston’s Brandin Cooks, New England’s Kendrick Bourne and the New York Jets’ Elijah Moore."

Ja'Marr Chase's hip injury is a matter of waiting for the bone heal.

The waiting will, indeed, be the hardest part. An excruciating wait for the #Bengals.
