Early in the preseason, after quarterback suffered a calf injury in training camp, his top wideout and LSU J.T. Brown Kids Jersey BFF,, declared that he thought Burrow should sit out until Week 5 if he wasn't 100%."I told him that with all honesty I don't want him there," Chase on Aug. 4. "Same thing with me last year. I sat out an extra game just to let my hip all the way heal up, and you don't want to cause no other problems later on in the season, and I told him as long as you're there after Week 5 and on, we're good brother."Two weeks into the 2023 season, Chase appears to be on to something. The Bengals are 0-2, and without the ability to put as much of his lower body into this throws, Burrow can't connect on his patented deep ball. The NFL's highest-paid player on an annual basis -- Burrow signed a on Sept. 9 -- is 0-for-12 on throws of 15 or more air yards this season. He is 0-for-8 to receiver , 0-for-3 to Chase and 0-for-1 to tight end Jr. This is unprecedented for Burrow, as he only had one game without a completion of 15 or more air yards in his first 42 career starts.

"That way, we can come back to anything else underneath." The Bengals WR1 declined to directly blame Burrow's calf injury for the lack of deep-ball synergy when asked if that was the reason for the struggles."I don't know," Chase said. "I mean, we really haven't taken that many shots downfield. You look at the past two games, you don't really see that many shots downfield. Have to take more shots downfield. I mean, that's why we have deep-threat guys. Take a chance."

In terms of options on the roster, the Bengals have two po sibilities: -- who threw his only career NFL pa s incomplete in the Bengals' 24-3 Week 1 lo s at the -- or practice squad quarterback .The 28-year-old Grier, a former West Virginia standout, is eligible for both a promotion to the active roster or at least three one-week call-ups from the scout team.
