WILD rumors going around about Chase...

[motoarch]

Well... I never thought I'd be interested in seeing OBJ as a Bengal but here I am...

They've been referencing Tab Perry all day.

4-6 weeks is very gracious. It took Tab Perry 13 months and he still had to retire after it never healed.

Yes. I saw that too. Was ridiculous.

For sure, but I would have read that one as obvious BS. Like, I would have been floored if that ended up being true. A reddit report about a player being injured and missing time, though? That's a bit more believable and makes me pause.

Well that sucks.

[BengalsLUFC]

Why are people saying OBJ?

He’s going to be ready around the same time Chase is (hopefully) back.

Wonder if AJ would be up for a return can’t see it costing much in draft capital.

[THE PISTONS]

Shefter just said out I definately. 4-6 weeks is the estimate. Still seeking medical assessments.

Will Fuller?

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.

Credible sources are saying hes done for the year. If this is true this sucks we may have lost our most talented Bengal ever. Right up there with Munoz.

Okay I'll admit I was wrong on this one. I mean you have to admit a story about some person on reddit posting then disappearing is more than suspect. But hey I was wrong and I'll accept that.

But mostly this sucks having Chase out.

Timing could have been worse all things considered

Indeed.  Much worse.  Unless he's truly done for the year, they can make this work, and the bye included in the weeks being out is a huge boost.  

It will definitely test the creativity of the offensive scheme, though. We've seen previously how much of a difference having just one guy missing from this explosive offense can be. 

[*Wyche'sWarrior*]

This ......sucks.

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

Is there an off the field issue with Elijah Moore? I thought he played well initially? Or Jeudy. We need some speed.

Because we don't know how serious the injury is yet and AJ sucks.  Did you see his last 2 years here?  Guy did not want to be here.

Anyways it's all speculation till we know more about this injury.

[Housh]

Shit




If our QB was anyone but Burrow I’d be upset.


Burrow will adjust and do fine. Teams will likely guard the underneath routes way more which will allow Tee one on ones down the field.



This injury may actually hurt defenses instead of help.

Think about it…

With Chase it gives them a very consistent thing to guard. They guard Chase and everyone else gets their off of Chase. Without Chase we should actually have decent 1st quarters because teams won’t have any idea what we want to do to start games.


I foresee possible bad 2nd and 3rd quarters but hey

What credible sources?  I've only seen 4-6weeks.

The team has about $3.4 million in available cap space to deal with any potential trades or free agent signings
