This week, the Pittsburgh Steelers will keep an eye on a significant injury. The Pittsburgh Steelers avoid top wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase in order to increase their chances of making the playoffs. The team will need to defeat the Cincinnati Bengals handily in Week 16.
The Bengals wide receiver is scheduled to have an MRI on his injured shoulder, and the organization is ready for him to miss time as a result, according to FOX Sports’ Jay Glazer.
