News - Bengals Injury Report: Ja'Marr Chase limited with an eye toward the near future; Shemar Stewart returns.

Whenever Ja'Marr Chase is on the injury report, red flags go up, but Chase is simply being managed with a Thursday night game coming up next week, per head coach Zac Taylor ahead of Wednesday's practice. Left guard Dylan Fairchild (knee) was concerned about missing practice at the start of the week and was a DNP on Wednesday. Right guard Lucas Patrick (calf) went limited in his first practice since being designated to return from the Reserve/Injured list, so if Fairchild can't play this week, Patrick could potentially replace him or provide needed depth at guard. Patrick still needs to be activated to the 53-man roster. Defensive end Shemar Stewart (ankle) practiced for the first time since Week 2, participating only in individual drills on his first day back.
