Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase participated in warmups and is expected to be active for Sunday’s game against the visiting Houston Texans.
Chase, who is listed as questionable to play against the Texans, injured his back in a hard fall during Sunday night’s 24-18 victory over the Buffalo Bills. He did not participate in Wednesday’s practice and was limited in both Thursday’s and Friday’s sessions.
Chase being available to play on Sunday would be a welcome sight for the Bengals (5-3), who have ruled out wideout Tee Higgins due to a hamstring injury.
Chase, 23, leads the team in catches (64), receiving yards (697) and receiving touchdowns (four) in eight games this season. The No. 5 overall pick in 2021 had four receptions for 41 yards in Cincinnati’s victory over Buffalo.
Higgins, 24, had eight catches for a season-high 110 yards versus the Bills. He has 27 catches for 328 yards and two touchdowns in seven games this season.
