He's coming off a monster game with 130 receiving yards and two touchdowns against the Atlanta Falcons.

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor suggested prior to the session that the wide receiver was a candidate to sit out practice, though Chase's lack of reps is believed to be mostly for maintenance-related reasons more than anything. 

Even so, Chase may need to get back on the practice field Friday or Saturday in some capacity to avoid carrying an injury designation into the Bengals' Week 8 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.

After a slow start to the season, Chase has exploded over the Bengals' past two games, hauling in 15 receptions for 262 yards and four touchdowns on 21 targets.
