The Cincinnati Bengals threw a bit of a curveball ahead of the Week 6 game against the Green Bay Packers after wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase was given a questionable tag.

Chase was on the injury report to start the week, but for rest purposes. After not taking part in practice on Wednesday, Chase returned to a full session Thursday.

However, Chase then sat out practice on Friday because of an illness before he was given the questionable tag, although he did take part in a walkthrough.

Here’s what we know about Chase’s chances of playing on Sunday.

Is Ja’Marr Chase playing today?

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Chase is expected to play in Week 6.

“Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase, listed as questionable for Sunday due to an illness, is expected to play vs. the Packers, per sources,” Schefter wrote.

As expected. There was just no way Chase was going to sit out a game with an illness, especially after having a few days to recover before kickoff.

Cincinnati desperately needs Chase in the lineup, also, as the team is trying to stop the bleeding following Joe Burrow’s injury with a new quarterback under center in Joe Flacco, who is taking over for the ineffective Jake Browning.

“Those guys are two of the best in the world at what they do,” Flacco said of Chase and and fellow wide receiver Tee Higgins. “If you can’t throw to them and get on the same page as them, then you are in trouble.”

“First time I’ve ever had a QB like this,” Chase said about Flacco. “He’s still got an arm. I mean, he’s still getting it out there. We’re going to see more when game time comes. That’s when you really get to see everything. But for right now, he’s throwing pretty good balls, and they’re not badly placed or anything like that.”

Flacco has a tall order in getting ready for this game after having just days to learn a new playbook. It’ll also be interesting to see how good his chemistry is with Chase and Higgins after so little practice time.
