Bengals star wideout Ja’Marr Chase said Friday that he although he doesn’t believe injured quarterback Joe Burrow will play in Week 3, he has no issues with Burrow sitting out the Monday Night Football showdown.
While speaking with reporters, the two-time Pro Bowler stated he doesn’t believe Burrow will play against the Rams due to the right calf injury he’s been battling since early in training camp. He initially incurred the injury on July 27, and he re-aggravated it in Week 2 against the Ravens.
While the football world has long celebrated athletes who play through pain, Chase doesn’t want his quarterback taking any such chances. Despite facing a potential 0-3 start to the season, Chase would prefer Burrow not return to game action until he is fully healthy.
