Ja'Marr Chase in uniform at Bengals' practice. Will WR face Dolphins?
· Yahoo Sports
Cincinnati Bengals receiver Ja'Marr Chase was in uniform and going through team stretch at the beginning of practice Oct. 8 ahead of the team's NFL Week 5 game against the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium.
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said Oct. 7 that Chase remains in concussion protocol and was being monitored day-to-day.

Chase's status isn't known for Sunday's game. Taylor said Monday that Chase is considered "day to day," but could be in concussion protocol for most or all of the week.
Chase's teammate, Tee Higgins, was not dressed in uniform for practice for the second consecutive day because of an adductor injury he suffered in a Week 4 loss to Jacksonville.
Two days earlier, Taylor said Chase was in concussion protocol after leaving the game against Jacksonville during the second quarter and not returning.
Chase went to the locker room for evaluation for a concussion, and the Bengals announced his return as questionable. As the second half started, the Bengals ruled out Chase's return.
After a four-yard catch from quarterback Joe Burrow, Chase had his facemask grabbed by Jaguars defensive back Jarrian Jones. Chase went to the ground and took a big hit from linebacker Ventrell Miller.
Jones drew a 15-yard penalty. Miller was not penalized. CBS analyst Robert Turbin said he couldn't believe Miller didn't draw a flag.
"I'm still really shocked there was no foul called on that play leading with the crown of his helmet," Turbin said during the third quarter of the broadcast.
Near the end of the first half, Turbin and play-by-play announcer Tom McCarthy said they were surprised Jones wasn't penalized for pass interference on a long pass attempt from Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow to Higgins, who was injured later in the game.
In August, Chase walked off the field under his own power following an injury during training camp practice.
