Ja'Marr Chase practiced Wednesday for the first time in over a month, and could return to the field on Sunday against the TennesseeTitans.
Chase missed three games due to a hip injury. During the portion of practice open to the media, Chase caught a variety of passes.
Chase is expected to play this weekend, according to Burrow.
He expects him to play. He felt good after running yesterday. We're going to see how it goes the rest of the week.
In the Week 7 win over Atlanta, Chase had eight catches for 130 yards and two touchdown. Chase could be out for four to six weeks according to the report. The last time Chase played was five weeks ago.
Taylor wasn't as forthcoming about Chase's condition than his quarterback was. Taylor said he hadn't seen Chase practice since the injury and that his availability was day to day.
Chase's rehabilitation has gone well according to Taylor.
Taylor said that he had done all the things they had asked him to do. He has a great relationship with the trainers. Everything has been good.
Chase has been working hard to return to the field and rest his hip for the playoffs. The start of a seven-game final slate that includes five opponents ahead of them in the division, will be against the TennesseeTitans on Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium.
Chase has been in some team meetings while trying to balance his rehabilitation work with being a good teammate.
The Cincinnati offense has become one of the league's best if Chase returns this weekend. In terms of points per drive and points per game, Cincinnati is third in the league.
"As soon as he's ready to go, he'll be back, ready to play, and keep making plays," he said.
