He is too important to the Bengals future to risk and very odd they did not IR him from the start knowing this fact.
Just got to man up and get this win without Chase and most likely will get him back for the Chiefs game.
We've proven we're a good team without him (much better with him), so we just need to let him heal and come back 100%.
This game will be more about establishing the run and controlling the game, and Chase always helps there by drawing the attention of the safeties, but we just need to establish the run, protect Burrow, and keep the chains moving.

Players don't always make the best decisions in these circumstances, especially if it's not their bodies because they let emotions influence their decisions.
I'd rather take the chances of another week without him more than risk losing him for longer.
