Trey Hendrickson

Head coach Zac Taylor said earlier that some veterans, including Chase, would have "limited" days through the first two weeks as part of a ramp-up period. The one glaring difference between Chase and veterans like Joe Burrow, Trey Hendrickson, and Tee Higgins is that they've already practiced in some capacity, while Chase has been spotted on the sideline both days. It still feels too premature to call Chase a "hold-in," but the star receiver is in search of a new contract after having his fifth-year option picked up earlier this offseason. Bengals team president Mike Brown said earlier this week that "It's not so likely that this is the good time to negotiate" an extension with Chase, but it's possible Chase is hoping to force the team's hand a bit. A third-straight missed practice by Chase would only amplify any concerns of a hold-in. We'll hopefully know more about this situation soon.
