Was just waiting for you to jump in harping on missing CJ again...
The team can adapt. There are a lot of capable play makers on the field. They might need to adjust things a bit, but it's not a complete mess without Chase. This team in general is going to have to (and should have already) figured out how to play without having a key guy. You can't expect to have a 100% healthy team all year, every year.
The Bengals have a solid defense that will need to step up in a big way the coming weeks. And the remaining offense will need to do the same. I see no reason the team can't get through this with a little thought and prep. Lean on the run game, 2 very solid WRs and a TE. Having Chase gone for any amount of time sucks, but there's no reason this team should sink just on that.
