Update Ja Marr Chase has been officially waived by the Cincinnati Bengals.
After a scary fumble in the second quarter Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Ja Marr Chase was down.
Chase caught a pass from quarterback Joe Burrow in the left flat and was caught in the facemask by a defender as he tried to pick up the yardage. When the Cincinnati wide receiver turned to the grass, then was hit in the upper body by a second defender, he stayed down on the grass after the horrific sequence.

Here’s another angle of the shot:
Chase was able to walk off the field without any help from the trainers, but was taken straight to the blue medical tent.
The play was flagged for a facemask penalty. Chase remained in the blue medical tent as Cincinnati continued its offensive drive, which ended with a field goal.
Before the game, Chase was seen heading to the locker room for further evaluation.
Update Chase is being evaluated for shock, and is questionable to return:
This is a developing story and will evolve.
