Chase sustained a separated shoulder during Saturday's 27-24 overtime win against the Vikings, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chase injured his right shoulder late in the Bengals' Week 15 matchup and was unable to return, finishing with four catches (on four targets) for 64 yards. After his departure, he was seen with a wrap of some sort on the shoulder while in street clothes. It's unclear if Chase will be able to play through the issue, but his status could gain some clarity as soon as Tuesday when the team may hold a practice ahead of next Saturday's contest at Pittsburgh.

Chase didn't return to Saturday's 27-24 overtime win over the Vikings after exiting with a right shoulder injury.
EDGE Analysis
Prior to leaving the contest, Chase caught all four of his targets for 64 yards. The star wideout will now look to potentially return to action Dec. 23 against the Steelers. If, however, Chase is limited or out in Week 16, Trenton Irwin, Andrei Iosivas and Charlie Jones could be in store for more snaps behind starting wideouts Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd.

Chase (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Saturday's game against the Vikings after he was a full practice participant Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Though he was estimated as a non-participant in practice Tuesday and was limited in Wednesday's practice, Chase said after the latter session that he was "100 percent" and on track to play Saturday, according to Ben Baby of ESPN.com. The wideout's ability to take every rep at the Bengals' final Week 15 practice Thursday has since removed any lingering doubt about his status heading into Saturday. Chase will be playing a fourth straight game with Jake Browning as his quarterback, with the 23-year-old having thus far compiled a 18-259-1 receiving line on 22 targets through the Bengals' first three contests without Joe Burrow (wrist).

Chase (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Bengals estimated Chase as a non-participant Tuesday while the team opened Week 15 prep with a walk-through session, but the wideout was able to take a step forward in terms of activity Wednesday. Chase may not upgrade to full activity Thursday in the Bengals' final practice of the week, but the receiver told Ben Baby of ESPN.com that he's 100 percent healthy, despite his inclusion on the injury report. Assuming he's cleared to play Saturday versus the Vikings, Chase isn't expected to face any restrictions with his snap count.

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.
