“I’m just going to support my teammates, man. Let those guys do what they got to do. Only thing I can do is get healthy for the team,” Chase said, via Paul Dehner Jr.. “All I can do is pray and be a good teammate and be there for those guys and try to get healthy. That’s the only thing I can do right now. Everybody is counting on me to be healthy.”
Chase also said he was pretty sore moving around on Monday and that the injury got worse as Sunday night’s game progressed.
The Bengals will face the Houston Texans on Sunday in Week 10, so Chase will have some time to recover.
