As long as Chase only misses 3-4 games...this isn't a huge deal.

This is obviously going to make things much harder, because we’re so reliant on Chase’s big plays, but we can survive it.

Tee Higgins
Tyler Boyd
Hayden Hurst
Joe Mixon

They have enough fire power.

2-5 Browns
Corpse of the Panthers
2-5 Steelers
Bye Week

If there was a time for him to miss 4 weeks- it’s now

Taylor and Callahan will have to really earn their paychecks in the meantime. We won’t have the benefit of Chase breaking tackles and scoring on plays that had no business being TD’s.

I wouldn't hold onto hope that Chase will be back in 4-6 games or even at all this season.

Just reading the tea leaves, it seems like Chase was told it was season ending and he and the team are seeking further opinions. Couple that with the reddit guy saying it was season ending and it all just makes sense. I'm not optimistic. Hips are tricky.

People have been saying for at least a year that tee Higgins is a number 1 receiver that's only pushed down the chart by a freak talent like Chase. He's all but certain to make 20 plus mil per when his rookie deal is up. This is the time for it to prove out. If Tee balls out and the Bengals keep rolling without Ja'marr, he's going to get an even more lucrative deal to be top dog somewhere. I think he's great, but I haven't quite seen him prove this without Ja'marr to take pressure off. Massive opportunity for the young man.

Same for Joey B. I'm ride or die with our qb, but this is a chance for him as well. Even without Chase, Joe has better targets than at least half the league with Boyd and Tee plus Hurst. If Joe is who we think he is, he should be able to cook for a month without his best receiver. Brady went without Gronk all the time. Mahomes is killing defenses without Tyreek. You pay an elite qb because he makes the whole team better. Joe should be capable of weathering this storm.

Did we make it to page 9 without some smartass brining up Penei Sewell?

There’s no reason to think that. The fact that he doesn’t need surgery is very encouraging.

From the sources I spoke with about Ja'Marr Chase's hip injury, the reason the timeline is so up in the air regarding his return is that the team hopes because of his physical makeup, Ja'Marr's hip will heal faster than the average person.

Bourne is in Belichek’s doghouse. Don’t know why. He seems to have legit skills, though…

What are you basing that on?

To it but not past it.

Man Brady looks awful. Missed back to back easy big gain throws.

Apparently just some rando on Reddit. No one credible has reported, or even speculated, that’s it’s potentially season ending.

Again, I think the fact that he doesn’t need surgery is huge.

Not the Brady I watched growing up lol. Have to wonder if its more than age messing with his game.

We don't know that surgery wasn't suggested.

Nothing. I'm just reading between the lines. 

All I'm saying is that id be more surprised if Chase was back in 4-6 weeks rather than miss more time than that.

[TecmoBengals]

This better not be football karma. A hip for a hip. Chase is the cost for Bo.

Tampa's "defense" is playing bad too. These are NOT good receivers and they are playing them WAY too soft. Especially with Andrews out play them tight and make Lamar throw into small spaces. This is elementary stuff.
