Reality is setting in for the Cincinnati Bengals.
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor confirmed Ja’Marr Chase’s hip injury on Friday without going into much detail. What is certain, though, is the Bengals will have to figure out how to get through at least the next 4-6 weeks without their receiving ace.
Quarterback Joe Burrow will have to figure out how to produce the same explosive plays with the help of Tyler Boyd, Tee Higgins and other backup receivers like Michael Thomas. But just how much can he and Taylor replace Chase’s explosive impact?
The Strictly Stripes podcast continues giving more insight on Chase’s injury and what this means for the Bengals, including:

What can Trent Taylor and Thomas do?

How much do the Bengals rely on the practice squad?

Where does Burrow’s game change, if at all?

On top of Chase’s injury, the crew also talks about development’s surrounding Eli Apple’s absence from practice on Friday along with other injury updates from both the Bengals and Browns. Better yet, the crew gets into a fun debate involving some interesting personal superlatives.
The Strictly Stripes podcast features Mohammad Ahmad, Andrew Gillis and Mike Niziolek.
