CINCINNATI — Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase is still questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

The 24-year-old has been on the injury report all week long, but is now dealing with an illness. The Bengals made the announcement on Saturday afternoon.

The team is already going to be without Tee Higgins, who suffered a hamstring injury in practice on Thursday. If Chase does play, he'll be limited.

Chase told reporters he would be a game-time decision and that was before he was suffering from an illness.

The Bengals elevated wide receiver Kendric Pryor from the practice squad. Check out the injury report below:
