NFL Rumors: Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase to Return from Injury for Showdown vs. Chiefs

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase plans on returning from his hip injury to play in Sunday's contest against the Kansas City Chiefs, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Chase suffered the hip injury in a Week 7 win over the Atlanta Falcons, and the Bengals have gone 3-1 in his absence. The 22-year-old caught 47 passes for 605 yards and six touchdowns in seven games before he got hurt.

Fortunately, the Bengals still had plenty of other options for quarterback Joe Burrow, including Tee Higgins, Tyler Boyd and tight end Hayden Hurst.

Chase, the 2021 Offensive Rookie of the Year, didn't miss any time last season, catching 81 passes for 1,455 yards and 13 touchdowns in 17 games.
