CINCINNATI — Will Ja'Marr Chase play on Sunday against New England?

It's the biggest question surrounding Cincinnati entering regular season games as head coach Zac Taylor addressed the situation again ahead of Wednesday's practice.

"We'll see," Taylor said to multiple questions about Chase playing on Sunday and practicing at all this week.

Chase was present at Monday's practice but did not participate as the front office and his representation try to find common ground over the next few days.

Chase missed the 2020 college football season to make a business decision before getting drafted, and he could opt out of games again starting Sunday. Taylor is used to this kind of murky playing situation due to NFL injuries

"We deal with this all the time with injuries," Taylor noted. "Where guys are limited through the week or don't practice during the week, and our guys have always done a great job in the meetings, of being responsible for it. I think we do a good job teaching that, walking through it. So again, there's a lot of ways to get people ready to play in a game
