ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Ja’Marr Chase (concussion) will play in Week 5 against the Dolphins.

11 October 2026

Chase cleared the league’s concussion protocol over the weekend. With Tee Higgins (neck/groin) also expected to play, it’s business as usual for the Bengals this week. Higgins could be on a pitch count, while Chase won’t have any restrictions. Facing a pitiful Miami defense, Chase is in the running for WR1 overall this week.
