CINCINNATI — The Bengals wrapped up minicamp on Thursday. Star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase attended the workouts and went through install, but didn't do individual drills or participate in the 7-on-7 team periods.

"It was good to get him back in here. He's in great shape," Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said. "He had his process he went through with Joey Boese. When someone's not been here you don't want to rush them into things, but he clearly has done a great job this offseason. Really happy to get him back in the building. He was in all the meetings, did all the walkthroughs and all that stuff and then did a great job mentoring some of the other players as he was out there during practice. So I thought we got what we needed out of him and was appreciative of him of even though it is mandatory, I mean you see there's still guys that aren't always there and he showed up and did everything that we talked about him doing."

Chase has 268 catches for 3,717 yards and 29 touchdowns in three seasons. He's eligible for a contract extension and currently has two years left on his current deal.
