Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase leaves game vs. Vikings with injury

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase suffered a concerning injury late in the team’s comeback win over the Minnesota Vikings on Saturday.

Chase went to the locker room with what the team described as a shoulder injury. He was officially listed as questionable to return, but he never did, even after the game went into overtime.

The Bengals gave few clues regarding the extent of the injury after the game, but Chase was spotted out of uniform during overtime.

Chase had four catches for 64 yards before leaving the game.

The Bengals have had pretty awful luck with injuries all season, but are 8-6 and on the fringes of the AFC playoff race. Still, they cannot afford an injury to Chase that causes him to miss any time given how short-handed the team already is.
