Chase (ankle) is practicing Wednesday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Bengals are facing a quicker turnaround than usual for Week 15 with a game Saturday against Minnesota, but the expectation is that Chase's ankle injury isn't anything that will prevent him from suiting up this weekend, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Cincinnati listed Chase as a non-participant on Tuesday's practice estimate, but the wideout is taking a step forward by getting on the field Wednesday in some capacity.

The Bengals listed Chase as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report due to an ankle injury, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer, Chase was in uniform for the portion of Tuesday's session that was open to the media, but Cincinnati was merely holding a walk-through to begin Week 15 prep, and the receiver wouldn't have taken any reps if the Bengals held a traditional practice. Though the Bengals provided no indication that Chase sustained an injury in this past Sunday's 34-14 win over the Colts, the ankle issue may explain why he was limited to three catches for 29 yards on four targets while playing 86 percent of snaps in what was a favorable matchup on paper. He'll have two more chances to potentially log some practice reps before the Bengals make a call on his availability for this Saturday's game against the Vikings.

Chase secured three of four targets for 29 yards in the Bengals' 34-14 win over the Colts on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Chase tied with multiple teammates for the team lead in receptions and targets, but he was a distant fourth in receiving yards. The star wideout saw Jake Browning distribute the ball to nine different players overall, leaving Chase with his second-lowest yardage tally of the campaign. Sunday's disappointing day aside, Chase has already demonstrated plenty of rapport with Browning, so the receiver's fantasy prospects remain high in a Week 15 home matchup versus the Vikings.

Chase brought in 11 of 12 targets for 149 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 34-31 overtime win over the Jaguars on Monday night.
EDGE Analysis
Chase and fill-in quarterback Jake Browning put on quite the primetime display in the shocking upset, with the biggest play of the night between the two coming on the star receiver's 76-yard touchdown reception down the left sideline in the third quarter. Chase also contributed two catches for 25 yards on Cincinnati's game-winning drive in overtime, and his yardage total was his second highest of the campaign. Chase has also scored in three of the last four contests, with two of those touchdowns coming in conjunction with Browning. The duo will aim to keep their connection thriving in a home matchup against the Colts in Week 14.

Chase recorded four receptions on six targets for 81 yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
Chase was Cincinnati's most-targeted receiver by a narrow margin, but he was by far the team's most productive pass catcher. He made a few highlight reel plays, and his longest gain of the day came on a deflected pass that he collected and turned upfield for 31 yards. Chase later caught a tightly contested pass with his mouthguard in his hand. Though the catches may have come in unique circumstances, the fact that Chase was productive with Jake Browning under center for a full game is reassuring as Cincinnati heads into a Week 13 matchup against the Jaguars.

Chase secured two of seven targets for 12 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 34-20 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.
EDGE Analysis
Even with Tee Higgins (hamstring) sidelined for a second straight contest and Chase leading the team in targets, the star receiver's production was at a season-low point. Chase managed to salvage his fantasy night to an extent via a two-yard touchdown grab with 1:08 remaining that was exponentially more meaningful from a fantasy perspective than in the context of the game itself. With Joe Burrow having suffered a wrist injury of unknown severity Thursday night as well, Chase could have an uphill battle to get back to his usual numbers in a Week 12 home divisional clash against the Steelers on Sunday, Nov. 26.

Chase (back) brought in five of six targets for 124 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 30-27 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Chase was able to clear the pregame warmup hurdle to garner active status, but he was believed to be playing with some notable discomfort stemming from the back bruise he'd suffered in the Week 9 win over the Bills. With Tee Higgins (hamstring) inactive, Chase was able to help make up for his teammate's absence via a team-high receiving yardage tally that was spearheaded by an impressive 64-yard touchdown reception late in the third quarter. The fact Chase apparently made it through the game no worse for wear is particularly important when considering Higgins may be hard-pressed to return on a short week for a critical Week 11 Thursday night road matchup against the Ravens.

Chase (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Texans, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
After sitting out one practice and managing only limited participation in the other two this week, Chase took a questionable tag into Sunday and was viewed as a true game-time decision leading up to kickoff. While he ultimately did enough during pregame warmups to avoid the inactive list, Chase is likely suiting up at less-than-optimal health while he contends with a painful back bruise that he sustained on a hard fall to the turf in last week's win over the Bills. No reports have indicated that Chase will be on a strict snap count Sunday, so fantasy managers can probably feel comfortable keeping him active this week. Even if Chase does end up facing some in-game limitations, he could be heavily targeted whenever he's on the field, given that No. 2 wideout Tee Higgins (hamstring) is inactive for Week 10.

Chase (back) is expected to be active Sunday against the Texans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per Rapoport, Chase did what he needed to do during warmups and is now expected to be available for Sunday's contest. Either way, official confirmation of the wideout's status will arrive once the Bengals' inactives are posted ahead of the team's 1:00 ET kickoff.

Chase (back) is viewed as a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup against the Texans and considered truly 50-50 to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chase is officially listed as questionable, but fantasy managers aren't expected to have clarification on his status until Cincinnati releases its inactive list about 90 minutes ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. The star wideout isn't dealing with any structural damage, but the back bruise he suffered on a hard fall during the Bengals' Week 9 win over the Bills could still affect his availability for Sunday. After the matchup with Houston, the Bengals will have a short turnaround before facing the Ravens on Thursday. Fellow wideout Tee Higgins (hamstring) is already ruled out for Sunday, potentially leaving the position group thin if Chase is also inactive.
