The Bengals should be actively exploring trades...

People need to relax. The team has a former first round pick at TE and two WR's that would start on every team in the league. It's going to be okay.

The offense will look different, but again if Burrow is who we all think he is, this will not stop the Bengals offense. 

All this doom and gloom stuff is kind of an insult to the guy under center. This isn't the Andy Dalton days where if A.J. went down, the team went down. I'm very confident Burrow is going to be just fine out there.

Are we going start running the option with Burrow?  

Given the schedule coming up(Browns, Panthers, Bye, Steelers, Titans, KC), the Bengals will probably be ok if Chase is out 4 weeks provided the defense continues to play well.  The Titans and especially the Chiefs without Chase is a whole different matter entirely.  It should also be pointed out that given our current 0-2 record in the division, we can't afford a slip up against the Browns or Steelers if we want to keep a reasonable hope of winning the AFCN alive. A loss in one of those games can very well mean we're on the road in the WildCard round.

Duke shouldn't necessarily be in panic mode, but he should be working the phones.
