Is Ja'Marr Chase playing this week? (Latest injury update for Texans vs. Bengals in NFL Week 10)
By Peter Dewey
Cincinnati Bengals superstar receiver Ja’Marr Chase suffered a back injury in Week 9 against the Buffalo Bills, but he was able to finish the game.
Now, his status looks to be in question for Week 10 against the Houston Texans after he missed Wednesday’s practice and was limited the rest of the week. Chase is considered 50-50 for Sunday's game.
#Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase, questionable with a back injury, is considered 50-50 at best to play, per me and @MikeGarafolo. While there was no structural damage, he's in pain and it's unclear how functional he'll be. They'll keep the door open until game-time for him.

If Chase is unable to go, Tyler Boyd would need to step up at receiver for the Bengals. Tee Higgins has already been ruled out for Cincy. For now, it appears Chase still has a chance to play this week.

Ja’Marr Chase is listed as questionable for the team’s Week 10 game against the Texans, but he will need to go through a pregame workout for the team to play him in this week.

Ja’Marr Chase injury history
Chase has been very healthy in his NFL career, only missing four games due to a hip injury he suffered last season.
- Oct. 2022: Inguinal Hip Fracture and Tear – missed four games
Hopefully, he is able to recover quickly from his back ailment.
When is Ja’Marr Chase coming back?
If Chase’s back injury holds him out of Week 10, his next chance to play would come in Week 11 against the Baltimore Ravens – on a short week. That is going to be a tough turnaround regardless if he plays against the Texans or not.
