Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Quiet start to season
Ja'Marr Chase brought in two of four targets for 12 yards in the Cincinnati Bengals' 33-27 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.Despite the Bengals shaking off their usual Week 1 offensive doldrums, it was still a relatively modest day for the air attack. Joe Burrow threw for a respectable 254 yards, but Chase wasn't prioritized anywhere near the norm and actually finished behind all of Mike Gesicki, Tee Higgins and Chase Brown in targets. Chase will continue to be the focal point of opposing defenses every week, but he should be in line for more opportunity in a Week 2 road matchup against a Texans defense that was surprisingly gashed by the Bills on Sunday.

Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Doesn't practice Wednesday
Ja'Marr Chase (knee) was present but not suited up at Wednesday's practice, Gabi Sorrentino of Fox 19 Cincinnati reports.Coach Zac Taylor told Ben Baby of ESPN.com on Tuesday that Chase would be limited this week, but he "feels good about" the wide receiver after he hyperextended his left knee while attempting to gather in a deep ball at practice early last week. Just one day later, though, Chase didn't mix into any drills, and fellow WR Tee Higgins joined him on the sideline due to his own heel injury.
