Chase has returned to practice after holding out for a new contract.
The Cincinnati Bengals' star wide receiver returned to practice on Wednesday after spending most of the offseason holding out for a new contract. Chase missed all of training camp while angling for a new deal, andlast week before exiting again. He's back again, just in time to prepare for his team's Week 1 clash with the New England Patriots.Chase has been one of the NFL's best receivers since entering the league as the No. 5 pick in the 2021 draft.
In 2023, Chase hauled in a career-high 100 receptions for 1,216 yards and seven touchdowns. That came despite starting quarterback Joe Burrow only playing 10 games. The 24-year-old wideout has had to sit by and watch as peers like the Detroit Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown, Philadelphia Eagles' A.J. Brown, Minnesota Vikings' Justin Jefferson, San Francisco 49ers' Brandon Aiyuk, and Dallas Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb have all received big contract extensions this offseason.
Chase's time is almost certainly coming, but he has returned to practice without a deal in hand ahead of Sunday's season opener.Ryan Phillips is a senior writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
