He injured his lower back during the Bengals’ win on Sunday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills.

Chase went up for a pass and fell hard on the lower back area.

The young playmaker got up but was later seen on the sideline with a wrap, possibly a heating pad, around the same area.

Chase did return to the game.

The Bengals will see how he progresses throughout the week to make a determination if he can suit up against Houston on Sunday.
